v0.8.0

What's Changed

Breaking

• StaticMethodCall / StaticMethodCallExpr now covers only static dispatch (Foo::bar()). Dynamic dispatch (Class::$method()) is a new StaticDynMethodCall / StaticDynMethodCallExpr variant. Match arms that previously handled dynamic dispatch via StaticMethodCall must be updated (php-ast, #225).

Added

• visit_name() hook and walk_name() free function in the Visitor trait — fully backwards compatible; all existing visitors compile unchanged (php-ast, #226).
• ParserContext struct with reparse() / reparse_versioned() methods for arena reuse across re-parses. Resets the bump arena in O(1) before each parse, reducing allocator churn in LSP servers that re-parse on every keystroke (php-rs-parser, #221).

Fixed

• Visitor now traverses TraitUse adaptations (php-ast, #223).
• Risky unwrap() in trait alias parsing replaced with proper error handling (php-rs-parser, #219).
• Empty index in string interpolation ($$arr[]) now emits a parse error instead of silently producing a malformed AST (php-rs-parser, #218).
• Malformed Unicode escape sequences now emit parse errors (php-rs-parser, #217).
• Invalid assignment targets (e.g. 1 = $x) now emit parse errors (php-rs-parser, #216).
• Non-associative chain detection restricted to same-precedence operators; mixed-precedence chains no longer trigger a false error (php-rs-parser, #215).
• Property hook parameter counts validated; mismatched arity now emits a parse error (php-rs-parser, #214).
• Invalid heredoc/nowdoc body indentation now emits a parse error (php-rs-parser, #212).
