Hello internals,

About 3 weeks have passed since I announced the use_function RFC. A number of issues were raised, and I believe all of them have been resolved at this point. I would like to initiate the voting phase.

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/use_function
Patch: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/388

* The vote is on the implementation, so please check the patch.
* Since this is changing the language, it will need a 2/3 majority to be accepted.
* The voting period ends in 2 weeks: on August 29th at 14.00 GMT.

Cheers,

Igor

Don't forget to create a new [VOTE] thread (unless you already have, and my
inbox is just being slow today).

Hi Peter,

This *is* the [VOTE] thread. Am I missing something? :)

Regards,

Igor

The vote is announced on the mailing list in a separate thread by sending
an email with the subject *[VOTE]*. It should reference the RFCs being
voted on and if there are different options discussed, explain these
options. It should also contain the URL of the page where the vote is
taking place.

Did you do a new mail or reply to this one? The sooner is the right
way, did not see a vote thread (gmail or other clients)

he did a separate mail after it was pointed out, that some mail clients
(gmail especially) was groupping the vote thread with the rfc thread.
maybe this is something that we want to mention in the voting rfc
(technically he was doing everything right, having a new mail sent to the
list with the [VOTE] in the subject, the problem was that the rest of the
subject was identical to the previous discussion thread hence gmail
groupped it to the previous thread).

Hey internals,

The two weeks of voting have passed. Voting is now closed. The result of the vote is: 16 "Yes" votes, 4 "No". This translates to 16/20 = 0.8, which is above the required 2/3 majority threshold.

As such, I consider this RFC accepted. Thanks for the feedback and support.

Both Stas and Nikita pointed out some unhandled edge cases. I will work on resolving those before the patch can be merged, and will ask for another final review once I consider it ready. No significant changes will be needed, so I don't think extending the vote period is necessary. Please let me know if that is not acceptable, in which case it can be extended.

Regards,

Igor
