For example "Property get/set syntax" [1]. As far as I can see its already accepted for PHP6 [2], but now it seems to be orphaned. In my opinion it is a very nice enhancement, that helps to get rid of the Getter/Setter-mess. Are there any plans?

This RFC by Dennis was never 100% finalized, however from what I remember it was suggested too late in 5.3's development process to be implemented, and so do I think we are in 5.4 already as the RFC would need some extra care before sent to the list, perhaps even a patch for parts of it. The RFC itself evolved quite a bit doing its drafts on the wiki, I remember having long emails with Dennis about the syntax, as it evolved to allow many more things and additions to the object model, like final properties, interfaces with properties, getters, setters, .... But in the end I think it would rime greatly with traits and other goodies in 5.4 if someone took the time and care for this RFC, just worried its way too late already. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net --- ## #54502 — ar@ez.no — 2011-08-11T04:53:14+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/54495#54502 · In reply to: #54498 On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 10:16 PM, Kalle Sommer Nielsen wrote: > Hi Sebastian > > 2011/8/10 Sebastian Krebs : > > […] > what > > […] > can > > […] > In > > […] > > This RFC by Dennis was never 100% finalized, however from what I > remember it was suggested too late in 5.3's development process to be > implemented, and so do I think we are in 5.4 already as the RFC would > need some extra care before sent to the list, perhaps even a patch for > parts of it. > Type hinting is for instance not covered (should imho at least be on pair with function signatures). > > The RFC itself evolved quite a bit doing its drafts on the wiki, I > remember having long emails with Dennis about the syntax, as it > evolved to allow many more things and additions to the object model, > like final properties, interfaces with properties, getters, setters, > ....

If all these have been voted for in the past, I'll suggest that they could be worked on in upcoming 5.x versions as well leading up to an eventual 6.0 version. *eg: - Property overloading RFC aka abstract/virtual properties and get/set handlers (derick) (related?) - add support for type-hinted return values. *caugh* - add ability to allocate persistent zvals in PHP. - add support for files >2GB once native 64bit integers are implemented (pierre,wez) - APC - include APC in the core distributions (turned off by default) and switch to mmap as default shared memory storage. - ability to move autoloaded main classes in apc's class lookup preventing the overhead of doing the inheritance process all the time.
