Bug description: class compilation notices refer to wrong line number
Description:
------------
If a class definition generates a notice, the line number printed with the
notice corresponds to the first line in which the class is instantiated,
and NOT the line which truly gives rise to the notice.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class OtherClass {
// etc...
}
class TestClass {
static $linkedClass = OtherClass;
function __construct() {
echo "I am linked to " . self::$linkedClass;
}
}
$obj = new TestClass();
Expected result:
----------------
I am linked to OtherClass
Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Use of undefined constant OtherClass - assumed 'OtherClass' in
test.php on line 10
I am linked to OtherClass
Line 10 does not contain the phrase 'OtherClass' to begin with, as an
undefined constant or otherwise, so the notice is confusing. The line on
which the notice actually arises is line 5, where the class' static member
is incorrectly initialized (it should, in fact, have been a string).
Disclaimer: The need to have one class refer to another by name, as in
this example, may seem odd but is irrelevant to this bug report (it arose
for me because of a more complicated class inheritance need). I suspect
any notice arising during a class' static member initialization will have
the same wrong line-number; errors other than E_NOTICE might as well, I
haven't taken the time to check exhaustively.
