Bug->Req #64963 [Opn]: ReflectionClass::getMethods does not identify traits

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64963&edit=1 ID: 64963 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: alasdair at softhome dot net Summary: ReflectionClass::getMethods does not identify traits Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Reflection related Operating System: Debian Wheezy PHP Version: 5.4.15 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Reclassifying as feature request for a new method to provide the trait prototype method. The current behavior of getDeclaringClass() is correct, but there is space for an additional API here.

The argument that Trais are copied into classes so this is okay is very weak imho. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-24 18:44:39] love at sickpeople dot se FWIW, since the trait methods are copied, it is essentially declared by both parties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-24 18:43:04] love at sickpeople dot se I get that changing getDeclaringClass() will generate some discussion. What about adding getDeclaringTrait()? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-18 12:38:05] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #68742 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-01 22:12:58] ocramius at gmail dot com Note that this also affects various codegen components: the problem is that a trait does not actually exist unless used inside the context of a class. Methods and members of the trait that were copied into the class context at eval-time should be reflected as members of the class, not of the trait: same goes for the names of the methods, which are the final ones (after eventual aliasing). Information about the trait itself is pretty much useless except for libraries that extract method body/file information: these could probably need a different API.
