Scalar types do not have a \ prepended. Only class, interface, and trait names. Can you show me some of the code in Doctrine that handles this? This issue came up because of Doctrine prepending a \ in front of nullable class names [1], resulting in `\?Type`, which of course is invalid. Unfortunately I think no matter what is done, nullable types just created another headache for you. :-( Aaron Piotrowski [1] https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2068#issuecomment-239983716 (Forgot to CC internals again... ugh) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
