Hi Internals, As you have possibly already experienced, overloaded signatures cause various smaller and bigger issues, while the concept is not natively supported by PHP. That's why I drafted an RFC which intends to phase out the majority of overloaded function/method signatures and also forbid the introduction of such functions in the future: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_functions_with_overloaded_signatures
I'm not sure at all what the best solution would be to get rid of the overloaded FFI methods, so I hope that someone comes up with a better idea. Currently, the RFC suggests deprecating and then removing the static methods in question, but I hope that we can find a more elegant approach. So this section is incomplete and it's just for starting the discussion. Regards, Máté
