#34634 [Ver->Csd]: "const FOO = 1<<0" bits not allowed

ID: 34634 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: djmaze at cpgnuke dot com -Status: Verified +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. It's the same as with default values of function parameters: "The value must be a constant expression, not (for example) a variable, a class member, result of a mathematical operation or a function call."

Either add in the documentation which are allowed or extend the use of const. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class bar { const ASSOC = 1<<0; # CRASH const SQL_ASSOC = MYSQL_ASSOC; # Works } ?> Expected result: ---------------- A constant bit Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL, expecting ',' or ';' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34634&edit=1
