Re: Missing reflection info about strict types?

As I see it, the issue here is really not how to figure out whether a file uses strict_types, the issue is how you mix strict_types=1 and strict_types=0 code in a single file.

This is also my assessment.

Back when this feature was introduced, we decided not to allow this kind of mixing, as it seemed prone to causing a mess and use-cases seemed doubtful. Given the issue Symfony is experiencing, we should reevaluate this decision. Imho it's not good if there are some things you simply *cannot* express in a single file.

I think it was things like this that made me initially allow having multiple strict_types declarations in a file. But that was changed later. Maybe we could allow it, but only with the block syntax, much as we do with namespaces? i.e.: declare (strict_types=1) { } declare (strict_types=0) { } Or we could allow any number of non-block strict_types declarations if we wanted. I don't know. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
