Possible Bug with Interface, Constants and Inheritance

Hi,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or not.

Consider these simple script:

<?php
interface I1 { const C1 = '';}
class C3 implements I1 { const C1 = 'c2';}
$c3 = new C3;
var_dump($c3::C1);

That gives a fatal error with mod_php and PHP CLI if I call the CLI
version with a file name:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot inherit previously-inherited or override
constant C1 from interface I1 in

If I use the CLI and enter the code directly it works:

~> php -v
PHP 7.0.7 (cli) (built: May 27 2016 15:22:32) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
~> php -a -ddispplay_errors=On
Interactive shell

php > interface I1 { const C1 = '';}
php > class C3 implements I1 { const C1 = 'c2';}
php > $c3 = new C3;
php > var_dump($c3::C1);
string(2) "c2"

Is this always the correkt behaviour?

According to https://3v4l.org/jIcs6 it looks like that's intended
behaviour ;)

Have you tried with and without OPcache?

There is no opcache in use. (Don't know if the message can be seen on
the list; I only could read it in my mailbox; I could'nt see it in Gmane).

It doesn't. At least not on my machine. This is the output I get:

$ php -v

$ php -a

constant C1 from interface I1 in php shell code on line 1
php > $c3 = new C3;
php > var_dump($c3::C1);

php >

So it crashes with a fatal error when Implementing the interface. It'S
interesting though that the script allows me to instantiate the class
nonetheless. That's right.

Perhaps some C-Guru can shed some light here?

Cheers

Technically, this is a different version than reported. Nonetheless, on the
same version my REPL complains as well, I suspect because the original
report misspelled the INI setting ("-ddispplay_errors=On", notice the
double "p"):

Under normal interpretive operation, the Fatal terminates the script. But
in the case of the REPL command line, those are swallowed up and you can
keep going. Same as like:

php > foo();
PHP Warning: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function foo() in php shell
code:1
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in php shell code on line 1
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() php shell code:0
php > echo 'hi';
hi

I'm not seeing any bugs here.

Thanks for the info.

What I find strange is that I can instantiate the class "C3" even though
the declaration of the class is broken. I wouldn't say it's a bug, but
interesting.

Cheers

Andreas

Thanks; that explains why I didn't see the error message.

And that explains why I was able to instantiate a broken class (with a
overriden constant).

So no bug but an interesting edge case.

So it crashes with a fatal error when Implementing the interface. It'S
interesting though that the script allows me to instantiate the class
nonetheless.

It sounds to me like the ability of the interactive shell to catch fatal
errors and continue allows you to execute code with the engine in a
bogus state.

It's possible to do all sorts of wacky things that way:

php > class Bogus implements NonExistent {}
PHP Fatal error: Interface 'NonExistent' not found in php shell code on
line 1

Fatal error: Interface 'NonExistent' not found in php shell code on line 1
php > $b = new Bogus;
php > var_dump($b);
object(Bogus)#1 (0) {
}
php > var_dump($b instanceOf NonExistent);
bool(false)
php > var_dump($b instanceOf Bogus);
bool(true)

PHP Fatal error: Cannot inherit previously-inherited or override
constant C1 from interface I1 in

Can I just say this is a positively hideous error message. I can't
actually figure out how to parse its grammar: is it (inherit
previously-inherited) OR (override)? If so, what does "inherit
previously-inherited" mean?

+1 on hideous.

From this test
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/Zend/tests/errmsg_025.phpt, I
believe "previously-inherited" refers to this situation:

interface I1 { const BAR = 242; }
interface I2 { const BAR = 242; }
class Foo implements I1, I2 { };
