Why isn't a mater of pushing the function call statement into a valuable statement? I guess something like this: statement : | value | function_call; value : | valriable | array_access | method_send | ...;
...
You also could push the new statement into the value so you can do: (new A())->foo(); or foo(new A()); -mthk
How many conflicts does it bring? For example patch offered in this issue http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50003 brought 5 new conflicts. Please note that in some cases conflicts will delay calls to zend_compile.c functions and therefore may bring real problems. IMHO it's not as simple as populating grammar elements. The results must be carefully tested to avoid BC breakage. just 2c
From the grammar point of view it should not generate that mush conflict. Unless the grammar is not well written. Looking at the zend_language_parser.y it's awfully complicate. Of course the compiler/parser should change -mthk
