Doc #80515 [Nab]: The behavior of ReflectionClass::getMethods() changed in 7.4

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80515&edit=1 ID: 80515 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: mark at fastmail dot net Summary: The behavior of ReflectionClass::getMethods() changed in 7.4 Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Reflection related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.4.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Actually what changed was the value of the constants. In 7.3, IS_PUBLIC=256 and IS_STATIC=1, thus true == 1 == IS_STATIC. In 7.4, IS_PUBLIC=1 and IS_STATIC=16, thus true == 1 == IS_PUBLIC. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-12-14 20:13:03] mark at fastmail dot net Thanks very much for pointing that mistake out. I suppose that means the behavior of "$reflectionClass->getMethods(true)" is really what changed. I have noticed that undocumented "features" are sometimes mentioned in "Backward Incompatible Changes", but I'm guessing this wouldn't be a common/risky enough case to make the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-12-14 19:57:20] requinix@php.net || is *boolean* OR | is *bitwise* OR You should have been using the latter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-12-14 19:51:28] mark at fastmail dot net Description: ------------ Specifying logically ORed filter arguments results in "and" behavior in 7.3, but results in "or" behavior in 7.4. The provided test script returns both methods in 7.4, but only the first method in 7.3. Should this change be added to the "Backward Incompatible Changes" page? Test script: --------------- <?php class A{ static function one(){} function two(){} } $class = new ReflectionClass(A::class); var_dump($class->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC || ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80515&edit=1
