Re: Simple Namespace Proposal

As a PHP user also frustrated with lack and namespaces and having lurked here for a while I know there was a prior proposal and many countless, lengthy discussions on separators and all. Have the prior proposals been invalidated? --Tony ----- Original Message ---- From: Stefan Priebsch <stefan.priebsch@e-novative.de> To: David Coallier <davidc@php.net> Cc: Dmitry Stogov <dmitry@zend.com>; PHP internals <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, July 5, 2007 8:26:25 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Simple Namespace Proposal David Coallier schrieb: > I would probably be in favor of throwing a notice or a warning when > someone modifies a built-in function (or even throw an exception) and > that way as soon as you do such thing you would know right away that > you modified something and you would know where the modification > happened which would make things much easier for people developing and > debugging applications. The problem is that this kind of overloading makes a nice feature as well. This is runied by throwing an exception, and cautious developers will at least get nervous when they see a notice. I could imagine that by adding something like "overrides foo()" or "overloads foo()" to a function/method declaration the developer could make clear that he willingly overrides a built-in function, and if this is missing, an exception is being thrown. This may be a little over the top, however. Kind regards, Stefan -- >e-novative> - We make IT work for you. e-novative GmbH - HR: Amtsgericht München HRB 139407 Sitz: Wolfratshausen - GF: Dipl.
