Bug description: inconsistent overriding of methods in different visibility
contexts
Description:
------------
calling overridden methods from a base class seems inconsistent, when the
overridden method is private in the parent class and public in the child
class.
i do not know which one is the intended mode to work with,
but one of them is inconsistent.
* the child method gets called when the child declares it protected
* the parent method gets called when it's declared public.
one of these shouldn't be.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
public function __construct() {
$this -> foo();
}
private function foo() {
echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
}
}
class B extends A {
public function foo() {
echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
}
}
class C extends A {
protected function foo() {
echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
}
}
$a = new A();
$b = new B();
$c = new C();
Expected result:
----------------
either
====
A::foo
A::foo
A::foo
====
or
====
A::foo
B::foo
C::foo
====
... i, personally, would prefer the second result.
Actual result:
--------------
A::foo
A::foo
C::foo
