Hi Bob
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Bob Weinand [mailto:bobwei9@hotmail.com] Gesendet: Montag, 31. August 2015 21:29 An: PHP Internals Betreff: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] [Discussion] Short Closures I had this RFC in draft since some time, but delayed it due to all the ongoing PHP 7 discussions. Also we have no
master
branch to merge features in until 5.4 EOL. Thus I'm reviving this now.. Time for the first RFC targeting PHP 7.1 (assuming PHP 8 isn't going to be the next version ;-)): The short Closures RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short_closures Hoping for constructive feedback, Bob -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
I would like to see a short syntax for closures in PHP but would suggest to use different symbols for the operator. Why not use --> ?
--> is a shift-reduce conflict. It's undecidable if this expression should return boolean or a closure: $foo-->$bar (is it $foo --> $bar or $foo-- > $bar)
