note 85906 added to language.types.type-juggling

@alexgr (20-Jun-2008) Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is not a cast, it might be useful sometimes, but the IDE will not reflect what's really happening: <?php class MyObject { /** * @param MyObject $object * @return MyObject */ static public function cast(MyObject $object) { return $object; } /** Does nothing */ function f() {} } class X extends MyObject { /** Throws exception */ function f() { throw new exception(); } } $x = MyObject::cast(new X); $x->f(); // Your IDE tells 'f() Does nothing' ?> However, when you run the script, you will get an exception. ---- Server IP: 201.216.232.3 Probable Submitter: 190.225.129.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85906 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85906 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85906 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
