Implement FR https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63253

[laruence]

This is really a minor patch, so I think maybe make it as a PR not RFC is okey.

[laruence]

hmm, after second thought, I think I should make a RPC instead. close this PR, sorry for noise.

[nikic]

Should be RFC and I'd really prefer it if you would generalize the whole thing, in particular also allowing it on normal calls like f()(). Or at least remove the restriction that the stuff only applies to new (imho we should do that regardless of this).

[laruence]

yes, but it should be (f())() , not f()()... heh

[laruence]

otherwise, I think I will got a lots of rr conflicts...

[nikic]

I'd be okay with (f())() too, though I think that the other one can be possible too (though that's always a hard thing to say with PHP's grammar ^^).

Btw, a problem that you might hit is that (function() { ... })() will not currently work because the closure is dtored prematurely. At least I'd think that this will happen, but I'm not sure about it.

[laruence]

actually, it is stored in function table with a mangled name, but yeah, it will be a little different.

👍 I would like to see patch for this issue make it into the pipeline for PHP. Seems this feature request has gone quiet. Is there anyway to bring it back to life?

[nikic]

@treffynnon This is still alive, see PR #301. Will most likely be part of 5.6. Just haven't come around to writing an RFC yet ;)

@nikic Excellent news. I have updated the original bug report/feature request with a link to the new PR: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63253
