Bug #55524 Traits should not be able to extend a class
Submitted: 2011-08-28 08:05 UTC Modified: 2011-08-29 15:54 UTC
From: gron@php.net Assigned: gron (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.4.0alpha3 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Spotted by this post: http://zuttonet.com/articles/php-class-traits/

Traits build their own hierarchy of uses, but there is no useful semantics for 
extending classes.

For instance:


trait Foo extends Base {
    function bar() {}
}


The semantics for that is not defined (and actually at least broken for abstract 
methods).


This should give a fatal error as would the other way around (Base extends Foo).


Test script:
---------------
trait Foo extends Base {
    function bar() {}
}

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: A trait (Foo) cannot extend a class (Base) in %s on line %d

Might also be worth checking the implements keyword if a user tries to implement an interface (or multiple)
 [2011-08-29 05:13 UTC] gron@php.net 
Checking for interface is already done. As well as checking that classes do not 
extend traits. I only missed checking that traits do not extend classes, as far as 
I can tell. Plan to fix it later this week.
