Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-10 15:59:32] lists dot ban at herbesfolles dot org Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/functions.anonymous --- Syntax for mixing use Closure clause with return type declaration doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. It's then unclear whether the use clause should come before (where PHP7 actually wants it) or after (where HHVM wants it) the return type hint. PHP7: $closure = function (string $str) use (&$something) : int {} HHVM: $closure = function (string $str) : int use (&$something) {} As this not only isn't obvious, but also is inconsistent with what HHVM supports for some time, it seems very useful to me to document this clearly. Test script: --------------- <?php $something = 42; $closure = function (string $str) use (&$something) : int { return strlen($str) + $something; }; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71082&edit=1
