Re: [RFC][VOTE] Closure from callable

I'm sorry, I didn't follow the RFC discussion. In general I like the idea, but why not to use Closure constructor? $f = new Closure("some_func"); would look more readable than $f = Closure::fromCallable("some_func"); Sorry, if this was already discussed before. Thanks.

It would almost certainly need some clean up of the allowed syntax to disambiguate what $this->method means for: class Foo { public $method; public function method() { } } Leaving that top-level function name available for future versions, where we might be able to support it properly, is one of the reasons to use the more verbose function name. cheers Dan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
