Unexpected token: :: (implicit object / method usage)

pdepend log files stage -
Generating pdepend log files, this may take a moment.

The following error occured:
Unexpected token: ::, line: 32, col: 38, file:

The code is
$result = ($this->connection)::go($query);

However, PHP7.0.10 reports this code to be perfectly correct

This happens in pdepend v 2.2.4

Thanks
