In that case, I will just go ahead and remove the procedural style from my implementation (unless someone speaks up and objects).

IMO, an RFC which generally "forbids" the introduction of new dual APIs would make sense. I don't think that we *need* an RFC to remove the procedural API of IntlDatePatternGenerator.

Should this new RFC then only apply to IntlDatePatternGenerator, or should it also clarify that future additions to the intl extension (or to extensions in general?) should not add both styles and prefer OO style if possible? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php

Agreed with Nikita. There's no compelling reason to add double-API style anymore. It may take a second RFC to modify this one to remove those, technically, but I'd vote for it. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php

For example, the most >recent intl addition (IntlChar) does not come with procedural APIs. I wasn't aware that there was a precedent with IntlChar - the documentation seems to frame this duplication as a feature rather than a historical artifact. (The wording "OO style vs procedural style" does not imply any endorsement of one style over the other to me.) However, i am open to only including the OO API if there is consensus - although I feel like this should maybe belong in a separate RFC that clarifies that future additions should prefer the OO style, and that the OO style is the "preferred" one. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php

Do we *really* need to add a procedural mirror APIs, especially with such auspicious function names as datepatterngenerator_get_best_pattern? I believe the procedural APIs are considered legacy APIs, and we are intentionally not adding them for new functionality. For example, the most recent intl addition (IntlChar) does not come with procedural APIs. Regards, Nikita
