Hello all,
I am writing to see if anyone is interested in an RFC for ability to
automatically coalesce nullable method parameters with the supplied default. It
would look something like this:
function foo(?array $bar ??= []) {
This would result in $bar automatically converting to an array if null is
passed, as opposed to either having to do a null check before the function call
and not passing parameter at all - or alternatively having to do something like:
function foo(?array $bar = []) {
$bar ??= [];
I don’t see this creating any BC incompatibilites and the ??= syntax is
something already in use in PHP since 7~
I don’t have any experience with C, so would ideally love it someone could help
with the development with this, or maybe point me in the right direction.
I would also require RFC Karma if people are interested in opening a discussion
about this (dansimkus)
Thank you all for your time
Regards,
Daniel Simkus
