## #21913 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2006-02-18T17:26:25+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/21913#21913

Last night I noticed an inconsistency in the Reflection API, namely

   ReflectionParameter::getClass() vs.
   ReflectionMethod::getDeclaringClass() and
   ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass()

 I think we should use either getClass() or getDeclaringClass()
 consistently (I prefer getClass()).
