 +==== Abstract Accessors ====
 +Individual accessors may be defined abstract which will cause the class to be abstract and require any extending classes to define a body for the abstract accessors.
 +
 +<code php>
 +class Foo {
 +    public $bar {
 +        abstract get;
 +    }
 +}
 +
 +class SubFoo extends Foo {
 +}
 +
 +/* Fatal error: Class Foo contains 2 abstract accessors and must be declared
 +      abstract or implement the remaining accessors (Foo::$bar->get, Foo::$bar->isset) in ... */
 +</code>
 +
 +Just like abstract functions, it is illegal to declare an accessor abstract and to provide a body:
 +<code php>
 +class Foo {
 +    public $bar {
 +        abstract get { return 'test'; }
 +    }
 +}
 +
 +/* Fatal error: Abstract function Foo::$bar->get() cannot contain body in ... */
 +</code>
 +
 +You may also declare an entire property as abstract such as:
 +
 +<code php>
 +class Foo {
 +    abstract public $bar {
 +        get;
 +    }
 +}
 +
 +/* This marks all declared accessors as abstract, as well as the class.  An extending class 
 +   would need to provide a body for any declared accessors */
 +</code>

 ===== Reflection ===== ===== Reflection =====
  
-==== Changes ==== 
  
-  * ReflectionClass::getProperties() will now return an array of ReflectionProperty and ReflectionPropertyAccessor classes. +==== ReflectionProperty changes ====
-  * ReflectionClass::getProperty() will also return an appropriate class based on being a property or a property with accessors.+
  
-==== Additions ====+The class has the following functions added:
  
-=== ReflectionMethodAccessor extends ReflectionMethod ===+  * getGet(): Returns a ReflectionMethod object for the getter or false if no getter is defined. 
 +  * getSet(): Returns a ReflectionMethod object for the setter or false if no setter is defined. 
 +  * getIsset(): Returns a ReflectionMethod object for the isset accessor. 
 +  * getUnset(): Returns a ReflectionMethod object for the unset accessor. 
 +  * hasAccessors(): Returns true if the property has accessors, false otherwise.
  
-  * isAutoImplemented(): Returns true if the accessor was automatically implemented (no body declared)+A fairly extensive test-suite has been created to test the functionality as well.
  
-=== ReflectionPropertyAccessor extends ReflectionProperty ===+===== Backward Compatibility ===== 
 +There are no known backward compatibility issues.
  
-The new class has all of the same functions as the ReflectionProperty as well as:+===== Internal Implementation =====
  
-  * getGet(): Returns a ReflectionMethodAccessor object for the getter or false if no getter is defined. +Implementation Details Document: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-implementation-details
-  * getSet(): Returns a ReflectionMethodAccessor object for the setter or false if no setter is defined. +
-  * getIsset(): Returns a ReflectionMethodAccessor object for the isset accessor. +
-  * getUnset(): Returns a ReflectionMethodAccessor object for the unset accessor.+
  
-All other functions have been updated to return appropriate values and/or provide appropriate actions for an accessor.+===== Impact on APC and other Zend extensions =====
  
-=== Updates ===+In addition to the "implementation details document" linked in the previous section this section outlines the impact the accessors implementation has on APC and other Zend extensions.
  
-  * ReflectionClass::getProperties() returns an array of ReflectionProperty and ReflectionPropertyAccessor classes +Most Zend extensions should not be affected by this change. Accessors are normal ''zend_op_array''s, they are called as any other function and have a meaningful name. As such extensions like XDebug should not need any adjustments to support accessors.
-  * ReflectionClass::getProperty() will return either ReflectionProperty or ReflectionPropertyAccessor depending on the property requested+
  
-A fairly extensive test-suite has been created to test the functionality as well.+One extension that will require minor changes is APC. APC has to copy all ''zend_op_array''s and ''zend_property_info''s because they may be modified at runtime. Due to this proposal additional ''op_array''s may be located in  ''property_info->accs'' and need to be copied too. Here are the code snippets that need to be inserted in APC to do this: https://gist.github.com/4615156 (full code with the changes: https://gist.github.com/4597660). Other extensions that do something similar will require updates along the same lines.
  
-===== Backward Compatibility ===== +Thus the impact of the change on Zend exts is rather small.
-There are no known backward compatibility issues.+
  
-===== Internal Implementation =====+===== Tests =====

-===== Tests ===== +Voting ends not before Wednesday, January 23rd 2013. The PHP language is expanded, so a 2/3 majority is required.
