I recommend documenting this by removing ReflectionType::isBuiltin() from the docs completely (leaving only ReflectionNamedType::isBuiltin()). The fact that this method used to exist on earlier PHP versions is not useful, as ReflectionNamedType was the only ReflectionType there anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-10-16 15:44:19] info at chrisdoehring dot de Description: ------------ The in php 8 added "ReflectionUnionType" class should extend the ReflectionType class according to the RFC proposal (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/union_types_v2#reflection), but the inherited "isBuiltin" method (https://www.php.net/manual/de/reflectiontype.isbuiltin.php) does not exist. Example script: https://3v4l.org/5BDRn How it looks like without union type: https://3v4l.org/TGkX2 Test script: --------------- <?php class SomeClass { protected string|stdClass $a; } $unionType = (new \ReflectionClass(SomeClass::class))->getProperty('a')->getType(); var_dump($unionType->isBuiltin()); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method ReflectionUnionType::isBuiltin() in /in/5BDRn:8 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /in/5BDRn on line 8 Process exited with code 255. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80247&edit=1
