Hi internals,
someone in the "Return Type Hinting for Methods RFC" thread had the idea
of a "numeric" type hint. I will capture this idea and propose a
"scalar" type hint. I understand the problem of the current discussion
about scalar type hints(int, float, string, double, ...). But there
should be a possibility to define a "scalar" type hint to restrict
arguments to scalar types.
function setName(scalar $name) {}
class Foo {
public function __toString() {}
}
setName(1) // pass
setName(true) //pass
setName('Christian') // pass
setName(new Foo) // pass
setName(array()) //fail
setName(new stdClass) //fail
Why this isn't possible?
Christian
