Description:
------------
Null coalescing operator doesn't check isset() for static properties

Test script:
---------------
abstract class Test
{
	public static function get()
	{
		return static::$test ?? true;
	}

	public static function get2()
	{
		return isset(static::$test) ? static::$test : true;
	}
}

// Access to undeclared static property
Test::get();

// Works
Test::get2();


Expected result:
----------------
No errors

Actual result:
--------------
Error

Same for class constants.

The null coalescing operator should not be used to check whether a constant has been defined or not - that's what the defined() function is for.

We can use isset() for variables as well :) Why not to make it work with constants? Anyway, static class properties are more important.

Why the issue was closed?
 [2017-04-11 13:26 UTC] tpunt@php.net 
This issue was fixed in the 7.0, 7.1, and master branches. It should therefore be in the 7.0.19 and 7.1.5 releases next month.
