30 * Instantiate an object based on a specification array.
32 * The specification array must contain a 'class' key with string value
33 * that specifies the class name to instantiate or a 'factory' key with
34 * a callable (is_callable() === true). It can optionally contain
35 * an 'args' key that provides arguments to pass to the
36 * constructor/callable.
38 * Object construction using a specification having both 'class' and
39 * 'args' members will call the constructor of the class using
40 * ReflectionClass::newInstanceArgs. The use of ReflectionClass carries
41 * a performance penalty and should not be used to create large numbers of
42 * objects. If this is needed, consider introducing a factory method that
43 * can be called via call_user_func_array() instead.
45 * Values in the arguments collection which are Closure instances will be
46 * expanded by invoking them with no arguments before passing the
47 * resulting value on to the constructor/callable. This can be used to
48 * pass DatabaseBase instances or other live objects to the
49 * constructor/callable. This behavior can be suppressed by adding
50 * closure_expansion => false to the specification.
52 * @param array $spec Object specification
54 * @throws InvalidArgumentException when object specification does not
55 * contain 'class' or 'factory' keys
56 * @throws ReflectionException when 'args' are supplied and 'class'
