#25006 [NEW]: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated
From: marcus at gooseflesh dot de
Operating system: Windos 2000
PHP version: 4.3.2
PHP Bug Type: Variables related
Bug description: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated
Description:
------------
I have really big problems with your newest change to php. having
Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated without having objects
passed-by-reference makes the usability of your language really
impractical.
example:
function foo($var); // is by-value if you pass an object it will be
copied.
function foo(&$var); // is by-reference but you cannot pass null or a
value.
foo(17); // error
foo(null); // error
function foo(&$var = null); // error
Because you have unsuitable method signiture overloading and now no
call-time pass-by-reference an efficient way of designing applications or
libraries in your language is now impossible.
It's a pity. At the moment I don't feel like to finish my php projects.
