Bug #77470 [NEW]: Methods in traits can unwillingly function as constructor

From: bas at dmt-software dot nl Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Methods in traits can unwillingly function as constructor Description: ------------ A class without __construct method cannot use a trait that has a method that equals the class it's name. It will execute the trait method as constructor when E_DEPRECATED errors are ignored. This should never happen. Test script: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED); class Callback { use CallbackTrait; } trait CallbackTrait { public function callback() { echo 'this is called'; } } new Callback(); --- https://3v4l.org/CWBai Expected result: ---------------- It should ignore the method as constructor like extends does or it should trigger a fatal error as it does when a constructor is present (https://3v4l.org/nbh6X) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77470&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77470&r=mysqlcfg
