#49376 [NEW]: ReflectionClass::newInstanceArgs cannot instantiate a constructorless class

From: sebcsaba at freemail dot hu Operating system: WinXP PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Reflection related Bug description: ReflectionClass::newInstanceArgs cannot instantiate a constructorless class Description: ------------ I've got a class without a constructor, and I want to instantiate it by ReflectionClass::newInstanceArgs with an empty array as arguments. This causes: ReflectionException: 'Class A does not have a constructor, so you cannot pass any constructor arguments'. If I define an empty default constructor, this works well. Reproduce code: --------------- class A {} $rc = new ReflectionClass('A'); $a = $rc->newInstanceArgs(array()); Expected result: ---------------- Create a new instance of class A, using default constructor behaviour. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49376&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49376&r=mysqlcfg
