Req #63264 [NEW]: Type hinting in list()

From: michaelrfairhurst at gmail dot com Operating system: CentOs 6 PHP version: 5.3.17 Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Type hinting in list() Description: ------------ Since list is a language construct, it would be great if it had type hinting. list(ContractPrice $price, Adjustment $adj) = $deps; truth be told I got this whim from PHPUnit, where I like having type hinting on my @dependent tests -- example is based on that. Test script: --------------- /** * @depends testReturns_ContractPrice */ function testReturnsArray(ContractPrice $price) { $adjustment = new Adjustment; $this->assertEquals('stuff', $price->stuff($adjustment)); return array($price, $adjustment); } /** *@depends testReturns_Array */ function testTypeHintingLists(array $deps) { list(ContractPrice $price, Adjustment $adjustment) = $deps; } -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63264&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63264&r=mysqlcfg
