Re: Q on Primitives

Just a random thought I have from reading over that: Would it not be more 'natural' to change 'function' to indicate a method with a variant return type, and allow e.g. 'int somefunc()' instead of 'function (int) somefunc()' to indicate an int return? It would be a bit more in fitting with traditional languages, and definitely less typing.. it may require some parser modification, though..? (I'd also like to throw my +1 in for scalar type hints, and optional type coercion for return values - this is something I have run into annoyances with and blogged about in the past) Thanks, Robin Burchell On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 2:23 AM, Kalle Sommer Nielsen <kalle@php.net> wrote: > 2008/12/18 Nathan Rixham <nrixham@gmail.com>: >> Nathan Rixham wrote: >> >> and strongly typed returns.. nearly forgot >> >> public static function parseByte( Number $var ):bool { >> or >> public static function bool parseByte( Number $var ) { >> >> or such like >> > > Theres already an RFC for this: > http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typehint > > > > > -- > Kalle Sommer Nielsen > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
