How is the status of this? --- ## #48650 — Stefan Marr — 2010-06-04T11:56:40+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/48649#48650 · In reply to: #48649 Hi: > A short while ago there was a discussion about implementing Traits in > the next PHP version. How is the status of this? The code is committed to trunk, and thanks to the community there have already been some improvements and fixes for corner cases. We even got some basic reflection capabilities, too. So, it is there. Now it is just a matter of defining a release and either including it or not...

Would one have to do that by creating public properties that aren't formally defined?

Thus, you can define properties in Traits just like in classes, and I would encourage you to do so, if that is the way you use PHP. However, there is no conflict detection with other traits. Thus, you have to make sure that your property names are descriptive and unique over all traits you combine. Finding a solution for that problem wasn't possible so far. At least not in a way that makes people happy i.e. avoids tons of complex and rather academic constructs to ensure that you get what you want with respect to state. Hope that helps Best regards Stefan > What was the status of data for traits in the implementation that went > into trunk? > > Would one have to do that by creating public properties that aren't > formally defined? > > On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 8:13 AM, Christian Kaps > wrote: > > […] > > > > -- > Tom Boutell > P'unk Avenue > 215 755 1330 > punkave.com > window.punkave.com > > -- > > > -- Stefan Marr Software Languages Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2 / B-1050 Brussels / Belgium http://soft.vub.ac.be/~smarr Phone: +32 2 629 2974 Fax: +32 2 629 3525
