Parser bug (compared to PHP7): can't call a closure inline

[fredemmott]

<?php

class Foo {
  public function bar() {
    (function() { var_dump('baz'); })();
  }
}

(new Foo())->bar();

Fixed in recent PHP7: http://3v4l.org/e6LlW

I'm working on this issue.

it's been 21 days, any update?

@steelbrain: How does that concern user-land? It's a feature request and such behavior is not present in any PHP version.
@fredemmott: It's not a php incompatibility, it's just a feature request, until PHP 7.0.0 is out (>1 years from now).

[steelbrain]

it's not available in any PHP version doesn't mean it's not cool, or is it? 😄

Perhaps need a "php7 incompatibility" label ;)

@simonwelsh, you might want to take a look at the 3v4l.org link in comment#1 :-)
