Package: Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Combined function default argument value
Description:
------------
First of all - I marked it as feature/chamge request (not bug) bcs it`s not
so
important but maybe it`s a bug.
Official manual quote:
"The default value must be a constant expression, not (for example) a
variable, a
class member or a function call."
Code written below is correct according to the documentation but
interpreter
generate parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'
function foobar($a = "abc"."def") { print($a); } //Wynik: Parse error:
syntax
error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'
Test script:
---------------
define("TEST", "abc");
function foo($a = TEST) { print($a); } //Res: abc
function bar($a = "def") { print($a); } //Res: def
function foobar($a = TEST."def") { print($a); } //Wynik: Parse error:
syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'
//abstract but also causes parse error
function foobar($a = "abc"."def") { print($a); } //Wynik: Parse error:
syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'
