You're not really suggesting that I write my tools in user land, are you ? It's me, Joe :)ce

At first days of RFC discussion Sara pointed on over-design regarding AST.
I saw sense in here comments and updated RFC.


I *only* want attributes as they were originally proposed, and I can't vote to reflect that.

As discussed in private, what I want is attributes, as originally proposed, and a hookable compiler; Anything else is not good enough.

Personally, I'm for AST as well, but it's possible to get the same power translating string values of attributes into AST in the hooks.

Thanks. Dmitry.


Cheers
Joe

    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?
