Re: Scalar Type Declaration Syntax Weirdness

Hi Sebastian, Sebastian Bergmann wrote:

The following is currently valid PHP 7 code

Is it intentional that the \ in front of the "int" is allowed? IMHO, this confusing notation must not be allowed.

This is weird and I'd consider it a bug. You can't do \array or \callable, and if I saw \int, I'd think it meant a class of that name rather than a scalar type. Can this be fixed for 7.0.0? Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
