jjdunn opened a new issue, #7766:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7766
### Description
#6701 added support for PHP 8.3 #[\Override] attribute. This feature works
nicely.
However if the parent method has a function signature which is
"incompatible" with the child method (i.e. the parent method has more
arguments), then adding the #[\Override] attribute results in a PHP runtime
error:
`PHP Fatal error: {CLASSNAME}::__construct() has #[\Override] attribute,
but no matching parent method exists`
The wording of this runtime error is misleading because the parent method
DOES exist, but has more arguments than the child.
We went through a large code base, adding the #[\Override] attribute
according the NB hinting, only to find that our code was breaking. Now we have
to review every instance of #[\Override] checking to be sure that the parent
class is compatible.
It would be nice if NetBeans detected this situation and either did not
offer the "Override" hint (or) offered a warning about too-few-arguments.
p.s. this is on PHP 8.3.10
