True but that's what phpunit, etc. are doing for mocks anyway, aren't they? > true, but it can also be used to argue for loosening the restriction, > why restrict something from Reflection, which is already possible from > simple class extension. I agree, probably makes sense to allow it if you can do it anyway. Reflection is not something you can trigger without explicit codding (unlike O: thing) so it's fine with me. > a nice thing from OOP POV and also will cause problems if/when we > introduce a reflection method removing final from classes/methods (this > was already proposed not that long ago with a working patch but was > turned down because other reasons). That probably wouldn't be a good idea, especially for internal classes. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
