Re: [patch] Late static bindings (LSB)

Is it possible or feasible to distinguish betwenn parent:: and NameOfParentClass::? That would allow to push a call "up" while preserving the called name while not making Class:: mean different things depending on the location of the call, which is a very bad thing IMO (it's an effect that may not be desired). Regards, Stefan

From technical point of view it is possible to propagate LSB with self::, parent::, and static:: and not with CLASS::. I think it may be a good compromise. Thanks. Dmitry.

I am very much in favor of this. I think it allows the greatest amount of control. If you need a specific class's static method called then passing that class' name is the best idea. i would question wether it is a good idea to make self:: work like that though.

Hello Dmitry, this is a good idea imo. It sounds like the most natural solution - to me. marcus Thursday, September 20, 2007, 12:04:04 PM, you wrote:

I'm not sure I understand - what's the difference? Can you give an example?
