Bug description:Trait method names matching classes that use said trait treated
as constructors
Description:
------------
If you use a Trait which has a method name matching your class name, it is
used as
an old-style constructor in the case where the using class doesn't define a
constructor.
If you *do* define a constructor, you receive the error "Fatal error: Hello
has
colliding constructor definitions coming from traits".
Test script:
---------------
<?php
trait HelloWorld {
public function hello() { echo 'Hello, World!', PHP_EOL; }
static public function world() { echo 'World; Hello!', PHP_EOL; }
}
class Hello { use HelloWorld; }
class World { use HelloWorld; }
new Hello();
new World();
/*
* # php example.php
* Hello, World!
* World; Hello!
*/
Expected result:
----------------
Given that Traits cannot be used in legacy code, I'd expect the method name
to be
irrelevant to constructor behaviour.
Actual result:
--------------
Method names that match the class name are used as a constructor.
