Subject: [PHP-DEV] Coercive Scalar Type Hints RFC - Test PR
From: francois@php.net (=?utf-8?Q?Fran=C3=A7ois_Laupretre?=)

Hi,

As I fear this post went unnoticed by many potentially interested, I =
post it in a new thread.

For those interested in evaluating the impact of ZPP ruleset modications =
on internal and userland code, A pull request is now available :

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1110

Please note that this is not a mere implementation of the RFC ruleset, =
although it comes preconfigured this way. It contains a set of 12 =
configurable options, each one enabling/disabling a particular ruleset =
modification. This allows for a much more powerful exploration of =
potential modifications and BC breaks against the existing codebase. =
Every combination of individual behaviors is possible, providing a =
theoretical number of about 3,000 potentials rulesets. Of course, a lot =
of these are not consistent, but it still allows for creative thinking.

Given the time I had to write it, I didn't perform extensive testing. I =
just ensured the ruleset described in the RFC and the one you get when =
activating every possible changes both compile and seem to work as =
expected. I'll test more cases tomorrow. So, code review is key priority =
and every error (compile or runtime) you may get should be reported as =
fast as possible.

Overall configuration possibilities include and go beyond the STH RFC, =
with the exception of numeric strings, whose proposed restrictions are =
not implemented yet, but will be soon.

So, I hope you'll enjoy the new toy. And thoughts are welcome, as usual.

Regards
