Summary: rebinding of closures doesn't work when they are
declared in a static method
Status: Wont fix
Type: Bug
Package: *General Issues
Operating System: any
PHP Version: 5.5.0beta4

New Comment:
I really don't understand why the closure is expected to be static just because
its declared within a static method. For example I'm creating an instance
within a method and binding a closure to it. for some reasons i had to change
the method to static and now it doesn't work anymore. as workaround i have to
define a global function that i can call an that creates and binds the closure.
but that's just dumb ...

I've looked into the code, and indeed, it simply bails out when you want to
bind an object to the closure and it's initially created as ZEND_ACC_STATIC.
So instead of
if ((newthis != NULL) && (closure->func.common.fn_flags & ZEND_ACC_STATIC)) {
zend_error(E_WARNING, "Cannot bind an instance to a static closure");
}
it should change the scope of the closure (as the bindTo will provide an object
to bind to, which implicitly changes the context of the closure. Since the
closure is effectively recreated, it shouldn't be an issue changing the scope
while doing that.

To illustrate, I now have to this to get it to work:
class Dummy
{
public function __construct($event, $object)
{
// setup a shutdown event for writing cookies
$event->on('shutdown', function($event) { $this->process(); },
$object);
}
}
new Dummy($event, $instance);
which does exactly the same, but now the closure is defined in an object
context. Which is insane...

I understand the issue of scope here, but imho the location of where the
closure is not relevant. You get the same error when you do:
public static function somemethod()
{
// construct the a new object
$instance = static::factory();
// get the current event object
$event = \Event::getInstance();
// setup a shutdown event
$event->on('shutdown', function($event) { $this->process(); }, $instance);
}
where the "on" method is trying to bind $instance (which is an object, so there
should be no issue, $this is defined), but fails with this same error.

as I saw, it's by design, and there are some test scripts about that:

@laruence: This is not by design. Please take a second look on this report.
Thank
you. You probably want to summon ircmaxell for help.
