Hi Hamarkhis, please share with us your use case so we know why we should do this. What problem will this solve for users?

Hello, with ?-> operator I can avoid some useless tests on null and your plugin could have a better PHP8 support.

See that code which can cause errors on execution.

See PHP8 code, not compatible with your plugin.

See PHP7 code, compatible with your plugin with additional check, safe.

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion @hamarkhis – I will see if we can add this in a future release.

It looks like this as not part of the validator I wrote, but part of the php-parser library we are using for the live code linting. I’ve checked, and while the latest stable version does not have support for PHP8, there is a branch that I’ve switched to using instead.

The next plugin release, which should be fairly soon, will include support for PHP8 features, including the null safe operator.
