Hi Marcus,
thanks for this conclusion. I just asked this because this changed in this
release and should noticed in the readme or upgrade process because most
singleton pattern implementations in some frameworks, for ie. ZF are using
this code:
class My_Controller_Front extends Zend_Controller_Front
{
public static function getInstance()
{
if (null === self::$_instance) {
self::$_instance = new self();
}
return self::$_instance;
}
}
The __constructor in Zend_Controller_Front is private.
I asked a, i think, similar question last nov. About private properties.

Johannes replied to this:
http://news.php.net/php.internals/33544
Johannes: " That's a feature: Extended classes know nothing about private
stuff in
the parent class. Without that the encapsulation won't be complete."
This means this "was maybe a bug, that i allread talked about" but its now
changed so we should raise a notice about this. That will BREAK
Many many apps out there.
For example, PHPUNIT, ZendFramework, ezComponents.
