RE: [PHP-DEV] A different user perspective on scalar type declarations

Hi, If we allow for trailing blanks, we'll allow the same set of chars that is already allowed for leading blanks. I say'blanks' and not 'whitespaces', because here is the list currently allowed as leading blank (with ascii values) : Space (32) , tab (9) , linefeed (10), carriage-return (13), vertical tab (11), and form feed (12). > -----Message d'origine----- > De : yohgaki@gmail.com [mailto:yohgaki@gmail.com] De la part de Yasuo > Ohgaki > Envoyé : vendredi 27 février 2015 11:25 > À : Zeev Suraski > Cc : Theodore Brown; internals@lists.php.net > Objet : Re: [PHP-DEV] A different user perspective on scalar type > declarations > > Hi Zeev, > > On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 2:48 AM, Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> wrote: > > > You may have a point there.
