Note: I'm not sure you can classify a 2-3 developers comments as the "common decision" there where objections to the original change from core developers, this patch gives everybody what they want.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-20 21:25:58] alan_k@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: is_class_of.txt Revision: 1316553958 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=55475&patch=is_class_of.txt&revision=1316553958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-15 11:00:29] dmitry@php.net Reverted before the common decision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-15 10:59:23] dmitry@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of dmitry Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=316811 Log: Reverted the fix for #55475 (is_a() triggers autoloader) before the common decision ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-15 10:00:16] dmitry@php.net I've committed the revert.is_a.behaviour.to.ignoring.strings.diff by alan at akbkhome dot com into 5.3. 5.4 is going to support string argument. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
