RE: [PHP-DEV] [patch] Late static bindings (LSB)

So to clarify the question... <?php class A { function foo() { return get_called_class(); } } class B extends A { function bar() { return A::foo(); } } class C extensa A { function bar() { return B::bar(); } } echo B::foo(); // this must return "B". This is not a question, the question is in the following two lines... echo B::bar(); // this must return "B", because B::bar() calls to A::foo() and A is parent of B, so "late static binding" still the same echo C::bar(); // this must return "B" too, because C:bar() calls to B::bar(), but B is not the parent of C, so the call to B::bar() is handled in the same way as in the previous line. ?> Is this the expected behavior? (I would prefer it. My previous patches worked in this way). Or may be both lines must return "A"? (like Etienne's patches do, and like my latest path does) Thanks.
