Bug #64279 Using traits aliasing other traitmethods broken
Submitted: 2013-02-22 15:28 UTC Modified: 2013-02-23 11:44 UTC
From: r dot wilczek at web-appz dot de Assigned: laruence (profile)
Status: Closed Package: *General Issues
PHP Version: 5.4.12 OS: Linux x86_64
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
It is no longer possible to use a trait, which uses another trait and aliases methods.

This worked in PHP 5.4.10, but changed in either PHP 5.4.11 or PHP 5.4.12.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
trait MyTrait
{
	public function foo() {}
}

trait MyOtherTrait
{
    use MyTrait
    {
        foo as bar;
    }
}

class Importer
{
    use MyOtherTrait;
}
echo 'works' . PHP_EOL;

Expected result:
----------------
works

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Trait method foo has not been applied, because there are collisions with other trait methods on Importer in Example.php on line 18

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

seems the fix didn't goto 5.4.12

Tried the snapshot ...

Given the traits MyTrait, MyOtherTrait and the class Importer (see above), it shows this one:

$class = new \ReflectionClass('Importer');
foreach ($class->getMethods() as $method) {
    /* @var $method \ReflectionMethod */
    echo $method->getName() . PHP_EOL;
}

Expected result: 
foo

Actual result:
foo
foo

uh oh!

err ... expected would be 

foo
bar

simply 
foo
would be nicer, but ok ..

after a re-implemention of trait, the alias name was affected, also see: #64239
