Hi! > Is there a `.phpt` test-case or discussion backing this?
Backing what? Checking if side effects happen when evaluating args of non-existing ctor? Probably not, since nobody ever needed it (correct me if I'm wrong). There are many weird scenarios of what you could do with PHP that are not covered by tests because nobody ever thought anybody would care to know what happens if you do that. But I don't need tests to conclude it's intentional behavior - plain look at the code shows it very clearly, you don't make special case in ZEND_NEW to skip the ctor method call and write all the code around it if you don't mean to make special case to do just that. > I find this quite hard to believe, especially since following examples > are broken in php and working "as expected" (by me) in hhvm: > http://3v4l.org/4nhoq > > Yes, that's a bug :-) No, it is not :) We can do it all day but I think I've explained what is going on there. If you want to change it, feel free to do the RFC. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
