Hi, I've just bumped into https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65322 recently, and I would like you get some opinions on the issue. Personally I think that it is a really bad design to introduce pedantic(E_STRICT) errors which can break basic functionality of the engine (calling the registered autoloader), so if there is no viable solution to make the autoloader work for these kind of errors, I would like to propose removing the offending errors and make it a rule to not add compile-time non-fatal errors until the problem is resolved. ps: on a related note, somehow I got the feeling that Lester complaining that E_STRICT errors fataling/crashing the application migrated to PHP 5.4 was related to this problem, and I'm a bit sad that we didn't managed to figure this out back then. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
