Bug #77470 [Opn->Ver]: Methods in traits can unwillingly function as constructor

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77470&edit=1 ID: 77470 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: bas at dmt-software dot nl Summary: Methods in traits can unwillingly function as constructor -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I agree that we should only treat __construct as a constructor when coming from a trait. Interesting that this only comes up now, probably not many people using traits with non-namespaced code. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-16 15:44:01] bas at dmt-software dot nl 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77470&edit=1
