Hi all, I promise myself to not revamp this discussion again, but it wasn't me this time!
@Etienne: That RFC is outdated. Since the last feedback form internals list, a lot of changes have been made to that RFC. Maybe I should update it ASAP so you can clearly understand what have changed to be compatible with current PHP syntax. If you are interested, Pierrick moved all the recent developments to a github repository, which can be reached here: https://github.com/adoy/PHP-Annotations Take a look at some tests: https://github.com/adoy/PHP-Annotations/blob/master/tests/annotations/parser_021.phpt https://github.com/adoy/PHP-Annotations/blob/master/tests/annotations/ReflectionParameter_getAnnotations_003.phpt https://github.com/adoy/PHP-Annotations/blob/master/tests/annotations/ReflectionClass_getAnnotations_004.phpt Also, there's even an alternative patch that support positioned parameters instead of named ones. We just have to reach an agreement with what PHP core want. @Marcelo: While your proposal looks very good, it lacks of the support to nested Annotation. Consider how userland/framework would use your idea. For example, Symfony2 supports validation of data inside classes inspired on JSR-303 (Bean Validation). Symfony2 takes an advantage of a library Doctrine group (which I'm a core member) created by parsing docblocks. When we created this parser, I created this RFC with the good intention that PHP could benefit of this known feature to enhance current userland developments. The first thing you need is your application still running ok with and without comments. This already breaks all suggestions of creating a PECL extension of docblock parser. I'd like to see what people think about it and make something "IN" on next PHP major version.
