Req #50029 [Ana]: __invoke() can not work as class property.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50029&edit=1 ID: 50029 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: marc dot gray at gmail dot com Summary: __invoke() can not work as class property. Status: Analyzed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Class/Object related Operating System: * PHP Version: master Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The behavior of PHP 7 is still the same as PHP 5[1], and is unlikely to change for PHP 7.0 which is in feature freeze. However, due to the "uniform variable syntax"[2] one can use parens to make it clear that an instance property is meant to be called[3] what partly solves this issue.

Will this be fixed in PHP 7? I must admit this is one of the unbearable glitches that I find almost impossible to withstand. There are some bad behaviors in PHP that I can live with, but this one annoys me so much. It's not just a bad design, its just a bug. Please make sure to fix this in PHP 7, if it hasnt taken place in the current PHP 5.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-03 21:36:14] yohgaki@php.net I mean if this FR is not feasible, then we may document this and close bug. If this FR is feasible, then we may document current behavior and keep open this bug. I didn't follow closure implementation details closely, just curious about feasibility of the fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-03 21:12:21] yohgaki@php.net Are we going to fix(implement) this? If not, all we have to do is document this behavior. It seems it's not documented, yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-03 14:09:18] nikic@php.net Link to RFC should be https://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures/object-extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-03 14:08:10] nikic@php.net This is definitely an FR. Current behavior is intended as is, but somewhat controversial.
