Re: Traits and static methods

Hi Simas: Thanks for sending me the test cases. I checked them in, and surprise surprise: it actually was already completely implemented. I didn't had to touch any code... So the missing bit was being more explicit in the RFC. I added a section and an example based on your Singleton code. Now I also remember what the reference to the static modifier was about. You cannot use it to change it for a standard method. That means, if you have a normal method, you cannot make it static however, you can for instance make a public method private, or add an alias for it. That was what that statement was referring to. http://wiki.php.net/rfc/horizontalreuse Hope that helps Best regards Stefan On 17 Nov 2010, at 08:55, Stefan Marr wrote: > Hi Simas: > > On 17 Nov 2010, at 07:32, Simas Toleikis wrote: >> Alright then, I am sure someone will find more uses for static methods in >> Traits like factories/utilities (especially if traits can be made to work >> with late static binding). >> >> I assume this will be implemented in one way or another before or after >> first 5.4 alphas! :) > Send me the tests/phpt-files for it, and I will have a lock at it over the weekend. > > Best regards > Stefan > > > -- > Stefan Marr > Software Languages Lab > Vrije Universiteit Brussel > Pleinlaan 2 / B-1050 Brussels / Belgium > http://soft.vub.ac.be/~smarr > Phone: +32 2 629 2974 > Fax: +32 2 629 3525 > > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- Stefan Marr Software Languages Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2 / B-1050 Brussels / Belgium http://soft.vub.ac.be/~smarr Phone: +32 2 629 2974 Fax: +32 2 629 3525
