Hi Joe,

The sense in native support for AST is questionable.


On one hand this allows syntax verification.


On the other hand simple string may be parsed into AST with just one additional 
call to ast\compile_string().


Thanks. Dmitry.

Morning Dmitry,

    I'm not really happy with the voting options here.

    I would not vote in favour of a patch that does not include support for 
AST, that's a completely different feature.

    As it is, I have to vote yes in favour of AST, but it may be counted as a 
vote in favour of attributes without AST ...

    This doesn't seem right ... I don't want attributes without AST, and there 
is no voting option to reflect that.

Cheers
Joe

Hi internals,


I've started voting on "PHP Attributes" RFC.


https://wiki.php.net/rfc/attributes


In my opinion, "PHP Attributes" might be a smart tool for PHP extension, but 
it's not going to be the end of the world, if we decided to live with 
doc-comments only.


Thanks. Dmitry.

Thanks for the good work. Regarding naming, I googled
"PHP attributes" vs "PHP annotations" and looking at the
result, my view is that that Annotation is a better naming
then Attributes. Any hope in changing it?

The more I listen to arguments of adepts of existing PHP annotation systems, 
the more I think, that "PHP attributes" is the right name for this proposal.
This feature is not just for PHP annotation systems.

Thats a fair point, so Annotation it's not. Still, when I hear PHP
attributes I associate it with class / function attributes. Maybe
just a question getting used to the naming. Hm, wonder if PHP
directives could have been an option?

Regards //Björn
