Bug #51581 [Com]: getDefaultProperties incorrect for static properties

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51581&edit=1 ID: 51581 Comment by: dev at pp3345 dot de Reported by: ChadFulton at gmail dot com Summary: getDefaultProperties incorrect for static properties Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Mac OSx 10.6 PHP Version: 5.3.2 Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hello, I was going to report a similar bug as I'm experiencing the same problem. I actually believe that this problem should be fixed as it could be quite useful in some cases to retrieve the default values of static class properties. It would be nice if you could think about fixing this again. I'm not sure if this is easily possible, but a solution without raising memory consumption for everyone could be an additional ini-setting that enables and disables tracking of the default values of static properties. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 18:45:53] dmitry@php.net PHP don't have to keep the default values of static class variables of user-defined classes. Of course it might be used in ext/Reflection but it would require less-efficient and more-memory-consumption implementation which would affect any php script which use classes with static properties. I would stay the behaviour as is and would disable access to default static properties values which is incorrect anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-21 11:29:43] mike@php.net IMO actually a scripting engine problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-13 07:20:17] ChadFulton at gmail dot com Thanks for taking this issue up! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-12 15:45:58] mike@php.net Dmitry, could you please review the fix-refs-to-default-static-members patch?
