INSTALL

=======

1.- Download the patch.

2.- Apply with:  patch -p1 < anoforphp-5.3.5.diff

3.- Compile and install PHP as usual.

BEWARE

======

This is an *experimental* work. I'm not that familiar with the internals of ZendEngine(tm) so I wont promess there wont be any memory leaks, or crashes. It seems stable, but please report any issues you may spot so I can correct them as soon as possible ;)

ABOUT

======

First things first, this patch is made for PHP 5.3.5, but it should be easy to port it to other 5.3.+ versions.

Now, the idea behind this patch is pretty obvious. Annotations are a very popular thing and php lacks of them. Also, it's pretty expensive to have them inside doc blocks (i.e: /** */), so this patch is made mostly for the extension reflection of php and the ZendEngine2(tm).

The annotation token is "@@", because the "@" was already taken. So for instance, you would do:

@@AnAnnotation

@@AnotherAnnotation("something")

@@AnotherAnnotation(key1="value1")

@@AnotherAnnotation(key1="value1", key2="value2")

...

class something {

...

}

also:

class something {

	@@AnAnnotation

	@@AnotherAnnotation("something")

	@@AnotherAnnotation(key1="value1")

	@@AnotherAnnotation(key1="value1", key2="value2")

	...

	public function aMethod() {

		...

	}

}

And, best of all:

class something {

	public function aMethod(@@AnAnnotation $a, @@An1 @@An2(key1="value1") $b) {

		...

	}

}
