Re: [RFC][DISCUSSION] Allow abstract function override

An abstract function is a partial interface: I see no value in adding exceptions to interface implementations, especially if you add that: * only works with abstract classes, not interfaces * has a too narrow use-case scenario (need more necessity and scenarios with common patterns) * just write a different interface if it doesn't match what you are doing * if an abstract class doesn't fit your scenario, just don't extend from it * proxying would cause calls to the same methods anyway (on a parent class or a delegate instance), so parameter and return types should match exactly, or else you incur in type-juggling-hell (the proxy example is moot) On 1 Mar 2017 3:21 a.m., "Wes" <netmo.php@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello internals, I've just created a new RFC, you can read it at: > > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/allow-abstract-function-override > > Note: I have absolutely no idea how difficult implementing this would be, > as I have no C/internals knowledge.
