Re: RFC: ZE2 and abstract

Added final now: http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/ze2 So we have: abstract [static] function '(' parameters ')' ';' [ final ] [ static ] function '(' parameters ')' '{' code '}' There is a check that you cannot overwrite a final function of cause and i also added a check that you cannot redeclare a function abstract. See test files on this. marcus At 16:55 19.11.2002, Marcus Börger wrote:

The link below contain a patch that allows abstract functions in ZE2. http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/ze2 abstract [static] function '(' parameters ')' ';' it would be possible to make the ';' optional. When an abstract method is called a fatal error is generated and execution stops. Another way of handling abstract would be to generate an E_WARNING or throw an exception. I experimented with the second one already but do not like it. I favor the first over the third but haven't tried that yet. The thinks i did: introduce T_ABSTRACT = "abstract" and modified the parser. added is_abstract after is_static in zend_function (and such) emit an E_ERROR when is_abstract is set in zend_init_static_method_call_handler & zend_init_method_call_handler marcus ------------------->>> mailto:mail@marcus-boerger.de <<<------------------ "We are animals among animals, all children of matter, save that we are the more disarmed.
