I think it is exceedingly rare for anynomous functions to be called at their point of definition, while the constructor of your anonymous class will alreays be called there. > It does not make sense to pass arguments to a constructor that might not yet be declared The constructor will be called after the full class definition has been seen anyway; where the arguments are put syntactically doesn't change that, does it? My proposal ($that = new class(constructor args) places the constructor args in exactly the same place they are when instantiating a nonanonymous class. best regards Patrick
