Hi Benas, I voted "no" to the RFC because to me adding "void" to constructor and destructor don't add any value: the semantics of these functions are totally defined. Annotating the code with "void" is duplicate information. The best this can do is open another code-style bikeshed war. About forbidding the functions from returning anything, I don't understand why this would improve the overall quality of anything. To me, this looks like gratuitous strictness. I also don't understand the secondary vote: enforcing "void rules" in 8.1 is a not-allowed BC break. This can only target 9.0 to me, there can be no discussion about it in a specific RFC. Or did I miss something? This is just my opinion on the matter of course. Thanks for contributing to PHP. Nicolas
