ReflectionMethod
or class property ReflectionProperty
we can now set its accessibility and call it manually without getting any errors.This feature includes:
- make `ReflectionProperty` and `ReflectionMethod` behave as if `#setAccessible(true)` had been called upfront
- make `ReflectionProperty#setAccessible()` and `ReflectionMethod#setAccessible()` no-op operations, with no side-effects nor state mutation involved
After the RFC is successfully accepted/implemented, the following code should no longer throw, improving therefore the ergonomics around reflection.
class Foo { private $bar = 'a'; }
(new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'bar'))->getValue();
