From: knight at kopernet dot org Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:consider the final keyword depracation
Description: ------------ The final keyword is widely recognized among many programmers that adopted OOP paradigim esp. comming from or knowing Java. I find it very problematic though. Without a real compilation stage using the final keyword in the type hints does not make sure that all execution paths in the calling code passes an object of the expected type. This is completely different from Java which actually makes sure the correctness of the passed arguments. Also when it comes to writing unit tests - there's no way to override a final class and test code that makes use or depends on such an object. Please consider deprecating, removing the final keyword or release the imposed restriction. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65103&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65103&r=mysqlcfg
