ID: 65598 User updated by: php at davidstockton dot com Reported by: php at davidstockton dot com Summary: Closure executed via static autoload incorrectly marked as static Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Centos 6 PHP Version: 5.5.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The closure is not created in a static method, it's just loaded via an autoloader that happens to be static. Seems odd that we should expect different behavior of the code based on if the autoloader is static or non-static. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-17 20:52:18] bixuehujin at gmail dot com The reason is closures created in static methods are static, even without the keyword. see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/a447acdcc6f12ea3a5dcd22416cb033e62995935/Zend/tests/closure_045.phpt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-30 23:55:29] php at davidstockton dot com Description: ------------ If I load a class via a static autoloader which has executable code (including a closure) and then try to bind the closure to an object of the class, I get a warning and error: Warning: Cannot bind an instance to a static closure and Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context If I run the script directly (not via autoloader) everything works as expected. If I make the autoloader non-static, everything works as expected. Test script: --------------- Sample contains two files, a static autoloader which will load the class file and the class file which also contains executable code. If the autoloader is a plain function or a non-static method then the code works as expected. If the executable code is removed from the class file and placed into the autoloader file, everything works as expected. php Autoloader.php (bad behavior) php ClosureBug.php (correct behavior) https://gist.github.com/dstockto/6395158 Expected result: ---------------- 42 Actual result: -------------- Warning: Cannot bind an instance to a static closure in /vagrant/src/Bug/ClosureBug.php on line 9 Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /vagrant/src/Bug/ClosureBug.php on line 19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65598&edit=1
