Bug description: A class can't implements interface implemented by implemented
interface/classes
Description:
------------
Hi,
Since php5.2, all my classes have error due to something that changed in
php5.2 :
Fatal error: Class XtfLexer cannot implement previously implemented
interface XtfParserRegistrable
The reason of that ?
Well take a look at the classes (the code does not interest you as it's
not the problem)
interface XtfParserRegistrable {}
interface XtfHeaderHandler extends XtfParserRegistrable {}
class XtfLexer implements XtfHeaderHandler, XtfParserRegistrable {}
Because the interface extends XtfParserRegistrable, the XtfLexer can not
implements XtfParserRegistrable itself.
This is STUPID, REALLY STUPID.
What happens if one day I change the interface/classes I
implements/extends, and if I still wish to benefit from one interface that
is *possibly* implemented by my parents interfaces/classes?
Well : it will fails.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Try this :
interface XtfParserRegistrable {}
interface XtfHeaderHandler extends XtfParserRegistrable {}
class XtfLexer implements XtfHeaderHandler, XtfParserRegistrable {}
Expected result:
----------------
We can implements interface implemented by parent class/interface, and no
(fatal) error should be thrown.
Actual result:
--------------
We can't.
