Req #77518 [NEW]: SeekableIterator::seek() should accept 'int' typehint as documented

From: claude dot pache at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.3.1 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:SeekableIterator::seek() should accept 'int' typehint as documented Description: ------------ This is related to Bug #71051, but since https://wiki.php.net/rfc/parameter-no-type-variance has been implemented, it should be fixable in PHP7.2+ without breaking legacy code. Per documentation, the signature of SeekableIterator::seek() is: abstract public SeekableIterator::seek ( int $position ) : void However, when implementing the interface, providing the typehint ”int” triggers a compile error. Test script: --------------- class Foo implements SeekableIterator { function current() { } function key() { } function next() { } function rewind() { } function valid() { } function seek(int $position) { } } Expected result: ---------------- No error. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Declaration of Foo::seek(int $position) must be compatible with SeekableIterator::seek($position) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77518&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77518&r=mysqlcfg
