Re: [RFC] __debug_info()

Hello! I would like to notice, that there is method __set_state() that can be used to set internal state of object. We can introduce __get_state() method that will be invoked in var_dump(), etc... Personally I don't like __lower_caps name of this method, but it will be consistent with __set_state() :) 2014/1/22 Ivan Enderlin @ Hoa <ivan.enderlin@hoa-project.net> > Hello :-), > > > On 21/01/2014 22:42, Frédéric Hardy wrote: > >> Hi all ! >> >> Le 21 janv. 2014 à 22:26, Sara Golemon <pollita@php.net> a écrit : >> >> Something new to argue about: >>> >>> https://wiki.php.net/rfc/debug-info >>> >> Very interesting feature (i have personally thinking about that several >> time in the past). >> However, i think that __dump() is a better name from the end user point >> of view. >> __debug_info() is a good name from the point of view of a C developer >> which works on the Zend Engine or on C extensions, but from the end user >> point of view, it’s not the case. >> And this new magical method is used internally by var_dump() so __dump() >> seems to me a better name. >> Maybe __set_dump() is an alternative too, because __set_state() is used >> internally by var_export(), but i’m not sure that it’s a better name than >> __dump which is very explicit and intuitive. >> > +1 for __debug which is simpler than > __debugInfo.
