Comment:

 The function was introduced in PHP 5.5, WordPress 5.2+ requires PHP 5.6+.

 I have trouble figuring out if any HHVM version reached parity with 5.6
 specifically, WikiPedia says it was initially based on PHP 5.4 spec.

 In general HHVM 3.30 was last long term support version to run PHP at all
 (4.0+ only supports Hack) and its end of life apparently was November 2019
 https://hhvm.com/blog/2018/12/17/hhvm-3.30.html

 I would say at this point WordPress core is both officially and de-facto
 incompatible with running on HHVM.
