Static property access pointcut does not trigger on a static property read or write join point and advice is not executed

[tonix-tuft]

Hi,

In the following PHP code:

class Developper
{
    public $preferences;    
    public static $staticVar;   
}

aop_add_before('Developper::staticVar', function() { echo "ACCESS"; });

$developer = new Developper();
$developer::$staticVar = "value"; // as of PHP 5.3.0
Developper::$staticVar = "new value";

The expected output should be:

ACCESS
ACCESS

However, the advice doesn't get executed in any of the two cases.

Neither the following code works:

                                             // using '->' instead of '::'
aop_add_before('Developper->staticVar', function() { echo "ACCESS"; });

$developer = new Developper();
$developer::$staticVar = "value"; // as of PHP 5.3.0
Developper::$staticVar = "new value";

Have you encountered this static property access, read, write issue?
