PHP: Generates the return type boolean instead of bool for a function in phpDoc

[troizet]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 16

What happened

Generates the return type boolean instead of bool for a function in phpDoc.
Php does not have a built-in boolean type: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.intro.php
Also see the warning under "Scalar Types": https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.declarations.php

How to reproduce

• Create a function that returns true or false:

function test() 
{
    return true;
}

• Generate a phpDoc comment
• The @return tag was received with the wrong return type:

/**
 * 
 * @return boolean
 */
function test() 
{
    return true;
}

instead of:

/**
 * 
 * @return bool
 */
function test() 
{
    return true;
}
