Re: [RFC] [DISCUSSION] Make constructors and destructors return void

Hey internals, 1. Since there is confusion around multiple RFCs, I would like to emphasize that this RFC (Make constructors and destructors return void) superseded the original RFC (Allow void return type on constructors/destructors). Thus, the latter RFC is now abandoned. Link to the new RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/make_ctor_ret_void Link to the old RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constructor_return_type I would also like to inform you that the new RFC is now complete. As such, I have put the RFC into "Under Discussion" status. 2. Since this RFC is proposing a rather small BC break (given that there will be a deprecation warning in PHP 8.0), should we start enforcing void rules on constructors and destructors in PHP 8.1 or PHP 9.0?
