Bug #63911 [Com]: Ignore conflicting trait methods originationg from identical sub traits

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63911&edit=1 ID: 63911 Comment by: keithdavis at solidtechservice dot com Reported by: bitluni at bitluni dot net Summary: Ignore conflicting trait methods originationg from identical sub traits Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: debian PHP Version: 5.4.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I suppose that would work, but that does still divert from the actual issue here - that there is nothing to "override", as it's the same trait being used twice. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-22 21:10:51] mw dot wanrooij at vodafonevast dot nl In my humble opinion, a solution/improvement would be that precedence order should not only be appliccable to classes, but also to traits. To expand on the given example at the start of this topic, when: trait A { public function a(){} public function b(){} public function c(){} public function z(){} } trait B { use A; } trait C { use A; } class D { use B, C; } The expected result here would be that methods in trait C override methods in trait B, unless explicitly specified using the insteadof operator. Shortened example using the insteadof operator: class D { use B; use C { B::a insteadof C; } } Here, the expected results would be that methods in trait C override methods in trait B, except for method B::a() which is explicitly defined to be used instead of C::a() If one would change which methods would override other methods, one would simply change the precedence other, as with the example: class D { use C; use B { C::a insteadof B; } } Here, the expected results would be that methods in trait B override methods in trait C, except for method C::a() which is explicitly defined to be used instead of B::a() Am I making sense? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-29 19:30:22] keithdavis at solidtechservice dot com I think the point here is that if I use the same trait twice because I use a trait that uses an already used trait, it's the SAME method included twice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-29 17:15:28] gaetane dot le dot grange at gmail dot com I went into some detail here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20382202/php-trait-method-conflicts-trait-inheritance-and-trait-hierarchies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-29 16:08:01] jpauli@php.net Can someone explain me what you expect as a result ? For me, this is the right behavior, the engine has no way of differenciating between B::a() and C::A() , you have to help it using 'insteadof' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-07 08:31:24] gaetaneislockedoutof at gmail dot com I have this issue.
