Hello Timm, hello Andi,
i htought i had a better solution to the __toString() problem.
But then i found out why we made it so complex. The reason IIRC
was to prevent __toString() being called everywhere automatically
when it is a user function.
Havin said this the solution is very easy. We expand the signature
of cast_object to inform about exactly this - whether user space
functions may be called or not. From _convert_to_string() we set
that param to zero and from make_printable_zval we set it to 1
and inside the cast function we only need to verify the type of
the function if necessary.
Even better would be to add a flag that disallows usercode functions.
Because with such a flag we do not have a problem if a conversion
calls an internal method which then calls a userspace function which
it shouldn't.
Anid?
