Re: [RFC] [VOTE] __debugInfo()

Hi!

1. Can this hook be bypassed or disabled (global/temporary)? e.g. real_var_dump(), ini setting, some other flag? 2. What will be affected by this hook beside "var_dump"? e.g. xdebug output, var_export, ... 3. How would this behave (segfault?): public function __debugInfo() { var_dump($this); return []; }

    Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any recursion protection, just like:

    public function __toString() { return (string)$this; }

It is the same as function f() { f(); } User may do that, but it's a documentation problem. It would be not obvious as function call recursion. and must be documented, probably.

var_dump has *no* recursion check unlike print_r
