Subject: [RFC] Constant Scalar Expressions
From: ircmaxell@gmail.com (Anthony Ferrara)

--001a1130cec885e72c04e3d68271
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello all,

I'd like to propose a new RFC for 5.NEXT:

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

This allows for defining constant expressions which are resolved at compile
time.

for example:

const FOO = 1 + 1;
static $bar = 1 << 2;
function foo($a = 1 | 2) {}
class foo {
    public $bar = 1 << 2;
}

Thoughts?

Anthony
