Bug #80525 [NEW]: "Too few arguments ... exactly N expected" when using splat/scatter operator

From: asmqb7 at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 8.0.0 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:"Too few arguments ... exactly N expected" when using splat/scatter operator Description: ------------ Just a small nitpick about PHP's error reporting that I thought I'd file for completeness' sake. PHP currently says "exactly N expected" instead of "at least N expected" for functions using the ... splat/scatter operator. [I'm not seeing an existing bug for this, based on searches for "exactly" and "expected".] Test script: --------------- $ php8.0 -r 'function a($a, $b, ...$c) {} a(1);' PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function a(), 1 passed in ... line 1 and exactly 2 expected in ...:1 Expected result: ---------------- My suggestion: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function a(), 1 passed in ... line 1 and at least 2 expected in ...:1 Actual result: -------------- As noted -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80525&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80525&r=mysqlcfg
