is this going to be a BC break of PHP 8.4, or only become deprecated?

PHP 8.4 triggers a E_DEPRECATED error when it loads a file with this kind of parameter type declaration.

afaik this is a BC break for anything implementing the promise, right?
if it is, we should bump the major version number.

No, the code is 100% equivalent. This has always been a nullable type.

Here's an example where I examine the type with reflection:
One parameter is declared callable, the other ?callable. As you can see in the output, both parameters look the same.

thanks. i also added a class that implements the interface and changes ?
at least up to 8.3 this is indeed equivalent.
thanks for the clarification, then we can savely merge this.

Thank you! |
What's in this PR?
This PR turns implicit nullable parameter types to explicit ones.
Why?
PHP allows to implicitly declare a nullable parameter type by setting the parameter's default value to
null. However, in PHP 8.4 this syntax has been deprecated.https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-implicitly-nullable-types
