Consider a class which has set itself as #[NotSerializable] because it contains something which mustn't be serialized (like a secret or an identifier returned by an FFI library), or because the lifecycle of objects of that class needs to be tightly controlled (like a singleton or a scope guard). It shouldn't be possible to make any of these serializable by creating a subclass. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
