There is no mentioning about assign by ref operator(http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php). And its precedence is higher than instanceof. Also, there is exists mentioning of left | & | bitwise and references. What is a meaning of references in this line? Test script: --------------- $a = &$b instanceof stdClass; $c = $d instanceof stdClass; // line # * op fetch ext return operands // ------------------------------------------------------------------------- // 3 0 > ASSIGN_REF $0 !0, !1 // 1 FETCH_CLASS 84 :1 'stdClass' // 2 INSTANCEOF ~2 $0, $1 // 3 FREE ~2 // 4 4 FETCH_CLASS 84 :3 'stdClass' // 5 INSTANCEOF ~4 !3, $3 // 6 ASSIGN !2, ~4 // 7 > RETURN 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68804&edit=1
