 * @license code licensed under the BSD License: http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/license.txt
 *
 * @todo separate introspection from code generation for func-2-method wrapping
 * @todo use some better templating system from code generation?
 * @todo implement method wrapping with preservation of php objs in calls
 * @todo when wrapping methods without obj rebuilding, use return_type = 'phpvals' (faster)
 * @todo implement self-parsing of php code for PHP <= 4

    /**
    * Given a user-defined PHP function, create a PHP 'wrapper' function that can
    * be exposed as xmlrpc method from an xmlrpc_server object and called from remote
    * clients (as well as its corresponding signature info).
    *
    * Since php is a typeless language, to infer types of input and output parameters,
    * it relies on parsing the javadoc-style comment block associated with the given
    * function. Usage of xmlrpc native types (such as datetime.dateTime.iso8601 and base64)
    * in the @param tag is also allowed, if you need the php function to receive/send
    * data in that particular format (note that base64 encoding/decoding is transparently
    * carried out by the lib, while datetime vals are passed around as strings)
    *
    * Known limitations:
    * - requires PHP 5.0.3 +
    * - only works for user-defined functions, not for PHP internal functions
    *   (reflection does not support retrieving number/type of params for those)
    * - functions returning php objects will generate special xmlrpc responses:
    *   when the xmlrpc decoding of those responses is carried out by this same lib, using
    *   the appropriate param in php_xmlrpc_decode, the php objects will be rebuilt.
    *   In short: php objects can be serialized, too (except for their resource members),
    *   using this function.
    *   Other libs might choke on the very same xml that will be generated in this case
    *   (i.e. it has a nonstandard attribute on struct element tags)
    * - usage of javadoc @param tags using param names in a different order from the
    *   function prototype is not considered valid (to be fixed?)
    *
    * Note that since rel. 2.0RC3 the preferred method to have the server call 'standard'
    * php functions (ie. functions not expecting a single xmlrpcmsg obj as parameter)
    * is by making use of the functions_parameters_type class member.
    *
    * @param string $funcname the name of the PHP user function to be exposed as xmlrpc method; array($obj, 'methodname') might be ok too, in the future...
    * @param string $newfuncname (optional) name for function to be created
    * @param array $extra_options (optional) array of options for conversion. valid values include:
    *        bool  return_source when true, php code w. function definition will be returned, not evaluated
    *        bool  encode_php_objs let php objects be sent to server using the 'improved' xmlrpc notation, so server can deserialize them as php objects
    *        bool  decode_php_objs --- WARNING !!! possible security hazard. only use it with trusted servers ---
    *        bool  suppress_warnings  remove from produced xml any runtime warnings due to the php function being invoked
    * @return false on error, or an array containing the name of the new php function,
    *         its signature and docs, to be used in the server dispatch map
    *
    * @todo decide how to deal with params passed by ref: bomb out or allow?
    * @todo finish using javadoc info to build method sig if all params are named but out of order
    * @todo add a check for params of 'resource' type
    * @todo add some trigger_errors / error_log when returning false?
    * @todo what to do when the PHP function returns NULL? we are currently an empty string value...
    * @todo add an option to suppress php warnings in invocation of user function, similar to server debug level 3?

    /**
    * Given an xmlrpc client and a method name, register a php wrapper function
    * that will call it and return results using native php types for both
    * params and results. The generated php function will return an xmlrpcresp
    * oject for failed xmlrpc calls
    *
    * Known limitations:
    * - server must support system.methodsignature for the wanted xmlrpc method
    * - for methods that expose many signatures, only one can be picked (we
    *   could in priciple check if signatures differ only by number of params
    *   and not by type, but it would be more complication than we can spare time)
    * - nested xmlrpc params: the caller of the generated php function has to
    *   encode on its own the params passed to the php function if these are structs
    *   or arrays whose (sub)members include values of type datetime or base64
    *
    * Notes: the connection properties of the given client will be copied
    * and reused for the connection used during the call to the generated
    * php function.
    * Calling the generated php function 'might' be slow: a new xmlrpc client
    * is created on every invocation and an xmlrpc-connection opened+closed.
    * An extra 'debug' param is appended to param list of xmlrpc method, useful
    * for debugging purposes.
    *
    * @param xmlrpc_client $client     an xmlrpc client set up correctly to communicate with target server
    * @param string        $methodname the xmlrpc method to be mapped to a php function
    * @param array         $extra_options array of options that specify conversion details. valid ptions include
    *        integer       signum      the index of the method signature to use in mapping (if method exposes many sigs)
    *        integer       timeout     timeout (in secs) to be used when executing function/calling remote method
    *        string        protocol    'http' (default), 'http11' or 'https'
    *        string        new_function_name the name of php function to create. If unsepcified, lib will pick an appropriate name
    *        string        return_source if true return php code w. function definition instead fo function name
    *        bool          encode_php_objs let php objects be sent to server using the 'improved' xmlrpc notation, so server can deserialize them as php objects
    *        bool          decode_php_objs --- WARNING !!! possible security hazard. only use it with trusted servers ---
    *        mixed         return_on_fault a php value to be returned when the xmlrpc call fails/returns a fault response (by default the xmlrpcresp object is returned in this case). If a string is used, '%faultCode%' and '%faultString%' tokens will be substituted with actual error values
    *        bool          debug        set it to 1 or 2 to see debug results of querying server for method synopsis
    * @return string                   the name of the generated php function (or false) - OR AN ARRAY...
