Too bad nobody took this bug seriously at the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 15:13:05] cmb@php.net I think that suppressing inherited private properties, but showing inherited private methods is very inconsistent behavior. However, changing one or the other would likely require the RFC process, see <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-08 08:54:01] benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com @johannes too bad this comes up just a few days after the feature freeze for 5.5 :( No chance this could be considered a bug, not a feature, and make it into 5.5? I personally don't think it would be a huge problem, as most existing libraries probably haven't started to modify their code for 5.5 compatibility, so it could still be time to fix it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-08 08:04:23] johannes@php.net In general reflection in PHP leaks the "truth" by not hiding implementation details. This falls into this category. Telling the truth is nice for maintainers but not really for users. We can't change it in released (or feature frozen) versions so 5.6 might be an option. For that we might collect more such cases and think about ringing Reflection on some higher level of abstraction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-07 12:53:40] felipe@php.net Hey Johannes, what do you think about this behavior? Since reflection has worked in this way for a long time... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
