Detailed Description

Class to implement stub globals, which are globals that delay loading the their associated module code by deferring initialisation until the first method call.

Note on reference parameters:

If the called method takes any parameters by reference, the __call magic here won't work correctly. The solution is to unstub the object before calling the method.

Note on unstub loops:

Unstub loops (infinite recursion) sometimes occur when a constructor calls another function, and the other function calls some method of the stub. The best way to avoid this is to make constructors as lightweight as possible, deferring any initialisation which depends on other modules. As a last resort, you can use StubObject::isRealObject() to break the loop, but as a general rule, the stub object mechanism should be transparent, and code which refers to it should be kept to a minimum.

Stability: newable

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

StubObject::__construct	(	$global = null,
		$class = null,
		$params = [] )

Stability: stable: to call

Parameters

string \| null	$global	Name of the global variable.
string \| callable \| null	$class	Name of the class of the real object or a factory function to call
array	$params	Parameters to pass to constructor of the real object.

Reimplemented in DeprecatedGlobal.

Member Function Documentation

◆ __call()

StubObject::__call	(		$name,
			$args )

Function called by PHP if no function with that name exists in this object.

Parameters

string	$name	Name of the function called
array	$args	Arguments

Returns: mixed

Definition at line 148 of file StubObject.php.

References $args, and _call().

◆ __get()

StubObject::__get ( $name )

Function called by PHP if no property with that name exists in this object.

Parameters

string $name Name of the property to get

Returns: mixed

Definition at line 170 of file StubObject.php.

References _get().

◆ __set()

StubObject::__set	(		$name,
			$value )

Function called by PHP if no property with that name exists in this object.

Parameters

string	$name	Name of the property to set
mixed	$value	New property value

Definition at line 192 of file StubObject.php.

References _set().

◆ _call()

StubObject::_call	(		$name,
			$args )

Function called if any function exists with that name in this object.

It is used to unstub the object. Only used internally, PHP will call self::__call() function and that function will call this function. This function will also call the function with the same name in the real object.

Parameters

string	$name	Name of the function called
array	$args	Arguments

Returns: mixed

Definition at line 118 of file StubObject.php.

References $args, and _unstub().

Referenced by __call().

◆ _get()

StubObject::_get ( $name )

Wrapper for __get(), similar to _call() above.

Parameters

string $name Name of the property to get

Returns: mixed

Definition at line 158 of file StubObject.php.

References $global, and _unstub().

Referenced by __get().

◆ _newObject()

StubObject::_newObject ( )

Create a new object to replace this stub object.

Returns: object

Reimplemented in DeprecatedGlobal, StubGlobalUser, and StubUserLang.

Definition at line 127 of file StubObject.php.

References $class, $factory, and $params.

Referenced by _unstub().

◆ _set()

StubObject::_set	(		$name,
			$value )

Wrapper for __set(), similar to _call() above.

Parameters

string	$name	Name of the property to set
mixed	$value	New property value

Definition at line 180 of file StubObject.php.

References $global, and _unstub().

Referenced by __set().

◆ _unstub()

StubObject::_unstub	(		$name = '_unstub',
			$level = 2 )

This function creates a new object of the real class and replace it in the global variable.

This is public, for the convenience of external callers wishing to access properties, e.g. eval.php

Parameters

string	$name	Name of the method called in this object.
int	$level	Level to go in the stack trace to get the function who called this function.

Returns: object The unstubbed version of itself

Exceptions

MWException

Reimplemented in StubGlobalUser.

◆ isRealObject()

static StubObject::isRealObject ( $obj )

static

Returns a bool value whenever $obj is a stub object.

Can be used to break a infinite loop when unstubbing an object.

Parameters

object $obj Object to check.

Returns: bool True if $obj is not an instance of StubObject class.

Definition at line 89 of file StubObject.php.

◆ unstub()

static StubObject::unstub ( & $obj )

static

Unstubs an object, if it is a stub object.

Can be used to break a infinite loop when unstubbing an object or to avoid reference parameter breakage.

Parameters

object &$obj Object to check.

Returns: void
