Bug description: class type hints for function parameters to not allow the passing of
NULL
Description:
------------
Since RC3 I can't define optional parameters when I'm
using type hinting. Why is it no more allowed to use NULL.
Im used to do so from other OO Languages.
So if I have to live with no NULL and want to use class
Type hints, how can I use optional Paramters?
Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test {
public function test(Test $optinalTest = null) {
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
No Error, or a possibility to use class type hints *and*
optinal parameters. Perfect would be the old behavoir,
that I'm allowed to use NULL.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Argument 1 must not be null
