This rule would favor the "a ? : b" notation - which has been supported by GCC for at least five years.
My personal reasons against ?: : - It's non-standard and not well known even though GCC supports it. - It's hard to look up. - It's easily confused with $a ? $b : $c; - It's ugly (-:C
Yeah all good reasons against.
Maybe i could add that GCC's ?: is different from the intended behavior because we are doing "isset($a) ? $a : $b" in contrast to "$a ? $a : $b"
Looks like you guys misunderstand (my reply was to Rasmus regarding the don't-make-up-new-operators guideline). My original proposal (which dates back a couple of years) was adding GCC semantics to PHP's tertiary operator. The isset-thread is a separate issue.
