ID: 63834 Updated by: krak...@php.net Reported by: tolan333 at gmail dot com Summary: Add a function to detect a methods calling context Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: acquiring a backtrace is an inefficient means of obtaining this information ... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-31 11:55:17] ni...@php.net I still fail to use just what exactly this asks for and how it would be beneficial. @krakjoe: The get_calling_method and get_calling_class functions you added should already be fully covered by debug_backtrace, so I see little value in adding them (as the use case is rather limited). @op: Regarding the last two PHP_CONTEXT_EXTERN constants, what do you mean by "user" and "core"? E.g. if you invoke a callback using call_user_func, is that an internal or a userland call? It's the internal function doing the call, but it's really the user who triggers it. I don't see how these constants would carry any meaning. The other two again can be covered by debug_backtrace, can't they? Just get the class of the call and check whether it equals __CLASS__ (=> private) or is a subclass of __CLASS__ (=> protected) or is none (=> public). Seems simple enough to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-31 11:49:59] krak...@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: 63834-2.patch Revision: 1356954599 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=63834&patch=63834-2.patch&revision=1356954599 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-31 11:37:55] krak...@php.net -2 will provide get_calling_method and get_calling_class, I think that's everything you should need ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-31 11:36:48] krak...@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: 63834-2.patch Revision: 1356953808 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=63834&patch=63834-2.patch&revision=1356953808 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-31 11:19:32] krak...@php.net I think it makes sense to provide the scope which calls a method. Beyond this is application specific, I have suggested a patch that provides the name like the associated methods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
