'get_class' differs from (zend)php when passing a first-class function

[dnp1]

Lets the following php code:

$a = function () {return 0;};
echo get_class($a);

The zend's php outputs just "Clojure" while the hhvm ouputs "Closure$;0$10598a208dfd61cc68d5eda53b285607$"

Thanks!

I remember there is already an issue about this, but I can't find it.

[dnp1]

I'm sorry. I did a search and I couldn't find any correlated issue.

Should I close my issue?

#3281, they call it a feature for some strange reason...

@Majkl578, we use it to determine where closures were declared at runtime for error messages, backtraces, and logging. The hash can be parsed in a meaningful fashion and we consider it to be useful. You may disagree, about its utility, but I don't think it's a strange reason to want it.
