Req #81474 [NEW]: Make ReflectionEnum and related class non-final

From: ondrej at mirtes dot cz Operating system: N/A PHP version: 8.1.0RC2 Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Make ReflectionEnum and related class non-final Description: ------------ Library Roave/BetterReflection (https://github.com/Roave/BetterReflection) has a goal of providing runtime reflection compatible API for PHP reflection classes in the Adapter namespace: https://github.com/Roave/BetterReflection/tree/5.0.x/src/Reflection/Adapter This feature is prominently used by PHPStan, and maybe other open-source users as well. In order for BetterReflection library to be able to be used in place of the official API via polymorphism, it needs to have the ability to extend core reflection classes like ReflectionClass and ReflectionMethod. It has been doing that successfully. PHP 8.1 introduces ReflectionEnum class, and unfortunately it's final. This change request is about making this class non-final, and also all classes accessible through that one like ReflectionEnumPureCase, ReflectionEnumBackedCase, and ReflectionEnumUnitCase. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81474&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81474&r=mysqlcfg
