Re: [RFC][Discussion] NotSerializable attribute

Hi Max, Hi, I'd like to propose a new attribute, #[NotSerializable]. This > functionality is already available for internal classes - userspace should > benefit from it, too. > > The RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/not_serializable > Proposed implementation: > https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/12788 > > Please let me know what you think. > Regarding the inheritance-related behavior ("The non-serializable flag is inherited by descendants"), this is very unlike any other attributes, and this actively prevents writing a child class that'd make a parent serializable if it wants to. To me, if this is really the behavior we want, then the attribute should be replaced by a maker interface. Then, a simple "instanceof NotSerializable" would be enough instead of adding yet another method to ReflectionClass. Cheers, Nicolas
