You might do:
define('MY_CONSTANT', true);
class A {
const MY_CONSTANT = MY_CONSTANT;
}
Then you can sort of have the best of both worlds...
Though in a hack sort of way. :-^
Hehe, nice. No thanks ;-) Keep yer stinkin' 'define()' away from me ;-)
#2.
If it's that boiler-plate, maybe your class design is flawed...
I mean, the whole point of all this OOP stuff is re-factoring out the
commonalities of code to get a high level of code re-use. If you're
writing something so boiler-plate that it drives you crazy,
maybe you need to step back and look at the whole thing "sideways" and
see if your "obvious" class hierarchy isn't really the best hierarchy
to have chosen.
I'm using a 'singleton' pattern and this annoys me:
class A {
private static $MY1, $MY2, $MY3, $MY4, $MY5;
public function __construct() {
if (!self :: $MY1) {
self :: $MY1 = self :: init_thing1();
self :: $MY2 = self :: init_thing2();
self :: $MY3 = self :: init_thing3();
self :: $MY4 = self :: init_thing4();
self :: $MY5 = self :: init_thing5();
}
}
...
}
Why couldn't I have just written:
class A {
private static $MY1, $MY2, $MY3, $MY4, $MY5;
public function __construct() {
if (!$MY1) {
$MY1 = init_thing1();
$MY2 = init_thing2();
$MY3 = init_thing3();
$MY4 = init_thing4();
$MY5 = init_thing5();
}
}
...
}
I mean, I was forced to write 'self ::' like 11 times in that
constructor. THAT is annoying.
I realize I am probably just venting since it's unlikely I can get
anything changed/done on this list. I'm just hoping some internals
developer might see my rants and think it might be something which needs
to be addressed within the language. I can't be alone in my dislikes,
can I?
