Bug description: More information about class methods
Description:
------------
Inside any class method, there are as many as 3 related class and it would
be useful to have all of them as magic constants, and also in the
debug_backtrace function.
Currently only __CLASS__ is available (the name of the direct owner of the
method). It would be good to know the name of the child class (if the
method was called as part of a child class), and the name of the calling
class if the method was called statically (the same as get_class($this)
inside a static method).
This information would be most useful in the debug_backtrace() array.
debug_backtrace() was recently modified to report the direct owner class
name rather than the inheriting class' name (see bug #30828) but it would
really be more helpful in debugging to have all three possible class names
available.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
function A() {
echo 'direct owner: '.__CLASS__."\n";
echo 'called as part of: '.__INHERITED_BY__."\n";
echo 'called by instance of: '.__STATIC_CALLER__."\n";
}
}
class B extends A { }
class C {
function __construct() {
B::A();
}
}
new C();
Expected result:
----------------
direct owner: A
called as part of: B
called by instance of: C
