Simplify _wp_filter_build_unique_id() to use spl_object_id()

[swissspidy]

Summary

Refactored the _wp_filter_build_unique_id() function to use the modern spl_object_id() function instead of the legacy spl_object_hash() approach with fallback logic. This simplifies the code and removes unnecessary complexity.

spl_object_hash() is deprecated in PHP 8.6

Key Changes

• Replaced spl_object_hash() with spl_object_id() for object identification
• Removed fallback logic for environments without spl_object_hash() support
• Removed global $wp_filter variable dependency and static $filter_id_count tracking
• Removed complex object property assignment (wp_filter_id) that was only needed for the legacy fallback
• Simplified closure handling to directly use spl_object_id()
• Added early return for invalid callback formats
• Updated code comments to clarify why this function is duplicated from WordPress

Implementation Details

• The function now has a cleaner flow with early returns for different callback types
• Object callbacks (both closures and class instances) now use spl_object_id() which is more reliable and doesn't require global state
• Static method callbacks continue to use the ClassName::method format
• Added explicit null returns for invalid callback structures
• Removed approximately 20 lines of legacy compatibility code

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved callback handling for more reliable identification of closures and object methods.
  • Invalid callback arrays are now handled safely without generating identifiers.
  • Removed reliance on external runtime helpers and fallback state.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The router updates _wp_filter_build_unique_id() to use spl_object_id() for closures and object methods, return null for malformed callback arrays, and remove legacy fallback logic.

Changes

Callback identifier handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Native callback identifier generation router.php	_wp_filter_build_unique_id() uses native object IDs for closures and object methods. Malformed callback arrays return null. Legacy hash, filter-state, object-property, and counter logic was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 761ef

Malformed callbacks may be registered under an empty-string key instead of rejected, potentially causing failures during callback dispatch; this is a bounded correctness risk requiring owner awareness or follow-up.
