Re: [RFC] Alternative typehinting syntax for accessors

It is possible, if this property's guard is set. Since guard works for all code called from inside the setter, if setter is doing something not trivial (meaning, calls any functions, explicitly or implicitly) it is possible to set the property directly. Since the value you are getting is defined by the getter, there are no guarantees there too. So effectively, unless both getter and setter are implicit, this does not give you anything compared to the typed setter. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
