I would argue that such changes belong into a minor release rather than a patch release.

If that's a problem I can modify the patch to not throw in that case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-11 09:04:08] nikic@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: patch.txt Revision: 1318323848 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=60022&patch=patch.txt&revision=1318323848 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-09 17:27:35] nikic@php.net Description: ------------ The "The use statement with non-compound name '%s' has no effect" warning is only thrown when the use statement doesn't have a leading backslash. It should be thrown in both cases as they are semantically equivalent. (Patch is trivial: Get rid of the is_global arg altogether.) Test script: --------------- <?php namespace { use Exception; } namespace { use \Exception; } // http://codepad.viper-7.com/vN34cx Expected result: ---------------- Two warnings. Actual result: -------------- One warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60022&edit=1
