TO DO Parser PHP 5.3 support (configurable) <->
IN PROGRESS DUChain DUChain generation Niko Sams <[email protected]>

DONE DUChain static variables Niko Sams <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain final / abstract classes Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain final / abstract methods Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain adapt isDestructor/isConstructor to handle __destruct / __construct Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain add type for PHP resources Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain global variables: global keyword, $GLOBALS, $_GET Niko Sams <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain second parse pass when project opened - to find all types correctly Niko Sams <[email protected]>
IN PROGRESS DUChain try to improve performance of declaration- and usebuilder, esp. for large files Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
TO DO DUChain user configurable project dependencies on other projects/paths <->
TO DO DUChain http://www.icosaedro.it/phplint/phpdoc.html <->
DONE DUChain properly support magic constants: http://de3.php.net/language.constants.predefined

if possible show their value while hovering

Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE DUChain add variable definitions for key/value in foreach statements Milian Wolff <[email protected]>


IN PROGRESS Code Completion Niko Sams <[email protected]>
DONE Code Completion overloadable functions in class context Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE Code Completion standard PHP keywords for current context (foreach, while, function, etc.) Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
TO DO Code Completion doxygen/phpdoc comment completion / skeleton generation <->
TO DO Code Completion completion for default entries of $_SERVER array <->
DONE Code Completion completion after require/include, similar to what cpp does after #include Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE Code Completion only show visible methods (protected/private/public) Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE Code Completion only show interfaces after "implements" Milian Wolff <[email protected]>
DONE Code Completion only show classes/interfaces after "extends" Milian Wolff <[email protected]>

Kate PHP Highlighting

There are some bugs in the general PHP highlighting for Kate and other KTextEditor components. Note: Make sure to fix it in all files which use PHP.

DONE constants add missing magic constants, see http://de3.php.net/language.constants.predefined Milian Wolff <[email protected]>

Cleanup

Various stuff we should investigate and probably cleanup one day. Listed here so I don't forget them:

  • make sure all iterators are const where possible
  • be krazy

Known Limitations

return-type in recursive functions

In the following snippet, the variable $foo will have the wrong type mixed, instead of stdClass:

function bar() {
  $bar = bar();
  return new stdClass;
}

You can workaround that, by adding a @param stdClass to the doccomment of the function.
