[PHP-DEV] Built-in decorator attribute?

With the introduction of attributes in PHP 8, this new behaviour is still quite sparsely documented. Some of the articles I've seen out there, though, liken PHP's attributes to similar constructs in other languages including decorators in Python. Attributes are not the same thing as (Python's conc

[PHP-DEV] [RFC] debug_backtrace_depth(int $limit=0): int

Hi internals, I've created a new RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/debug_backtrace_depth to return the depth of the current stack trace. Inspecting the current stack trace depth is occasionally useful for 1. Manually debugging with temporary debug statements 2. Checking for potential infinite recursi

[PHP-DEV] RFC: Add `println(string $data = ''): int`

Hi internals, I've created a new RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/println This proposes adding a global function to PHP to print a string followed by a unix newline (`\n`). Printing a string followed by a newline to stdout is a commonly performed operation in many applications and programming langu

Re: [PHP-DEV] RFC: Add `println(string $data = ''): int`

Hi David, This sounds a lot like Asect Oriented Programming. Have you looked into that? PHP framework: https://github.com/goaop/framework PECL extension: https://aop-php.github.io/ Thanks, Peter On Sat., Mar. 13, 2021, 08:51 David Gebler, wrote: > With the introduction of attributes in PH

Re: [PHP-DEV] Built-in decorator attribute?

Decorators are a way of bringing aspect oriented programming into PHP core, yes, among other uses. Go AOP is a fairly bulky framework which could be easily replaced by a Decorator attribute for the purposes of cross-cutting changes to function behaviour. Regards, David On Sat, Mar 13, 2021 at 10

Re: [PHP-DEV] support for BLAKE3 hash?
