Hi All,
preface: Having discussed at great length previously and probably
completely misnaming and thus misleading the conversation here
goes again.
question: Would anybody else like to see, or feel the need for,
*optional* type hinting of variables and class properties in PHP?
examples (all optional, and syntax may differ):
class Example {
private TypeHint $var;
}
Example $var = new Example();
in addition the ability to type hint primatives/scalars/[type
object] in
the existing implementation:
function(bool $flag) {
}
function(object $flag) {
}
This would all be under the assumption and proviso that an
implementation would not break bc, have any markable perfomance
hit, or
in any other way effect existing applications or new applications
that
did not use the functionality (in the same way the existing type
hinting
implementation doesn't)
Any +1's?
can I give a +1 for you making a request to start a RFC on the
matter ...
I'm sure LKS will give you perms to set up one on wiki.php.net/rfc.
lukas, thoughts? [ini proposals coming in a minute, just diff'ing]
i do not determine what things are worthy of an RFC. i just handle
granting the karma to anyone who wants to write one. so just register ..
btw:
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typehint
regards,
Lukas
