Re: Constructor promoted property and default value

If I understand your use case properly, you should be confused by properties with default values that are not constructor-promoted as well ? Am I wrong ? In this case, your problem is not with promoted properties ?

If we specify it the way you say, the initial values ​​of the constructor arguments will be available even when the constructor is not called. Such behavior felt a little counterintuitive.

Which then would simply be the same behavior as properties when not promoted but declared in the class body instead:

class Foo
{
    public $val = 'abc';
}

$redis_foo = serialize(new Foo());

$foo = unserialize($redis_foo);
var_dump($foo->val);
// string(3) "abc"

Right ? What's the most disturbing in my opinion is that: `class Foo { public string $val = 'abc' } and class Foo { public function __construct(public string $val = 'abc' ) {}}` don't yield the same behavior at the time. Regards, -- Pierre
