Phpdocumentor: @method and @deprecated

[olvlvl]

Hi Guys,

How does one mark a magic method as deprecated? There's no mention of this in the documentation. I tried different combination in PhpStorm but nothing works:

• @deprecated @method int count()
• @method @deprecated int count()
• @method int count() @deprecated

That would be nice to implement because event magic methods get deprecated sometime.

Hi @olvlvl,

At current there is no way to mark a magic method as being deprecated; in the draft of PSR-5 (the new PHPDoc standard) there is a syntax to make that possible but that is not implemented in phpDocumentor yet.

The new Syntax would be:

@method int count() {
    @deprecated
}

Thanks for your answer @mvriel. I'll wait for PhpStorm to update then.

I've run into same problem today. So I guess it is not fixed yet, so we should reopen the issue then @olvlvl ?

I completely forgot about this. I'm mostly writting Golang these days, no magic methods there :)

[midlan]

Ok I understand. Can you reopen the issue for us who miss that feature? Thanks.

@midlan Here you go.
