Usage Examples

use bcmath_compat\BCMath;

// PHP 8.4+ with native enum
$result = BCMath::round('1.55', 1, \RoundingMode::HalfAwayFromZero); // "1.6"

// PHP 8.1-8.3 with polyfill enum  
$result = BCMath::round('1.55', 1, \RoundingMode::HalfEven); // "1.6"

// Backward compatibility with constants (all PHP versions)
$result = BCMath::round('1.55', 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP); // "1.6"

// Unsupported modes throw exceptions in PHP < 8.4
try {
    BCMath::round('1.55', 1, \RoundingMode::TowardsZero);
} catch (\ValueError $e) {
    // "RoundingMode::TowardsZero is not supported in PHP < 8.4"
}

RoundingMode Support Matrix

Mode PHP 8.1-8.3 PHP 8.4+ Maps to Constant
HalfAwayFromZero PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
HalfTowardsZero PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN
HalfEven PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN
HalfOdd PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD
TowardsZero ❌ (throws) ❌ (throws) -
AwayFromZero ❌ (throws) ❌ (throws) -
NegativeInfinity ❌ (throws) ❌ (throws) -

Implementation Details

The polyfill enum is conditionally defined in the global namespace:

  • Only loads if PHP >= 8.1 (enum support required)
  • Only loads if native RoundingMode doesn't exist (PHP < 8.4)
  • Provides identical interface to PHP 8.4's native enum
  • Throws appropriate exceptions for unsupported modes in older PHP versions

Backward Compatibility

This change is 100% backward compatible:

  • All existing code using PHP_ROUND_* constants continues to work unchanged
  • No breaking changes to existing API
  • Polyfill enum uses same case names as PHP 8.4 native enum

Test Results

All existing tests pass, plus 225+ new test cases covering:

  • Enum functionality across PHP versions
  • Backward compatibility with constants
  • Exception handling for invalid/unsupported modes
  • Edge cases with various number formats
  • Comprehensive rounding behavior validation

Test Plan

  • Run test suite on PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4
  • Verify polyfill enum loads correctly in PHP 8.1-8.3
  • Verify native enum is used in PHP 8.4+
  • Test exception handling for unsupported modes
  • Verify backward compatibility with existing code

Code Review: PHP 8.4 RoundingMode Enum Support

Overall Assessment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is an excellent implementation that demonstrates careful consideration of backward compatibility, proper error handling, and comprehensive testing. The PR successfully adds PHP 8.4 RoundingMode enum support while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Clean architecture: Proper separation with polyfill enum in separate file
  • Conditional loading: Smart use of enum_exists() and version checks
  • Type safety: Proper union type annotations (int|\RoundingMode)
  • Documentation: Clear docblocks and inline comments
  • PSR-2 compliance: Code follows established coding standards
  • Error handling: Appropriate use of ValueError for invalid modes

Minor Suggestions:

  1. Performance optimization: Consider caching enum_exists('RoundingMode') check result in a static variable within convertRoundingMode() to avoid repeated function calls
  2. Code organization: The match expression in convertRoundingMode() could benefit from extracting the PHP 8.4+ mode mappings to constants for better maintainability

Security Assessment ✅

No security concerns identified. The implementation:

  • ✅ Properly validates input types
  • ✅ Uses appropriate exception handling
  • ✅ No potential for injection attacks
  • ✅ Follows principle of least privilege
  • ✅ No exposure of sensitive information

Potential Issues & Edge Cases 🔍

Critical Issue Found:

Incorrect rounding mode mapping for PHP 8.4+ modes:

// Lines 1018-1026: These mappings may not be accurate
\RoundingMode::TowardsZero => PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN,        // Should be different logic
\RoundingMode::AwayFromZero => PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP,         // Should be different logic  
\RoundingMode::NegativeInfinity => PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN,   // Should be different logic

Issue: The new PHP 8.4 rounding modes (TowardsZero, AwayFromZero, NegativeInfinity) have fundamentally different behavior than the existing PHP_ROUND_HALF_* constants. Mapping them to PHP_ROUND_HALF_* will produce incorrect results.

Recommendation: These modes should either:

  1. Implement proper custom logic for each mode
  2. Throw exceptions in all PHP versions (not just < 8.4) until proper implementation is added
  3. Add clear documentation about the temporary/incomplete implementation

Minor Issues:

  1. Test reliability: Tests for PHP 8.4+ specific modes (TowardsZero, etc.) may pass due to incorrect implementation rather than correct behavior
  2. Polyfill enum values: String values like 'half_away_from_zero' are not used anywhere - consider if they're necessary

Test Coverage Assessment ✅

Excellent test coverage with 225+ new test cases:

Strengths:

  • ✅ Comprehensive DataProvider patterns
  • ✅ Edge case testing (negative numbers, half values)
  • ✅ Backward compatibility validation
  • ✅ Error handling tests
  • ✅ PHP version-specific test conditions

Suggestions:

  1. Add tests that verify the actual mathematical correctness of the new rounding modes when properly implemented
  2. Consider adding property-based tests for rounding mode consistency
  3. Add performance regression tests for the new enum conversion logic

Performance Considerations ⚡

Current Impact: Minimal

  • Enum conversion adds negligible overhead
  • enum_exists() and instanceof checks are fast
  • Match expressions are optimized in PHP 8+

Optimization Opportunities:

  1. Cache enum_exists('RoundingMode') result
  2. Consider static analysis to eliminate runtime type checks where possible

Compatibility & Migration 🔄

Perfect backward compatibility - no breaking changes:

  • ✅ All existing PHP_ROUND_* usage continues to work
  • ✅ Graceful degradation for unsupported PHP versions
  • ✅ Clear upgrade path for PHP 8.4+

Configuration Changes Review 📁

Positive Changes:

  • ✅ Appropriate autoload addition for RoundingMode.php
  • ✅ Sensible CI test enablement

Cleanup Benefits:

  • ✅ Removal of outdated CI configs (Travis, Scrutinizer, StyleCI)
  • ✅ Modernized development workflow

Recommendations 📋

High Priority:

  1. Fix rounding mode mappings - Implement proper logic for TowardsZero, AwayFromZero, NegativeInfinity
  2. Add accuracy tests - Verify mathematical correctness of new modes

Medium Priority:

  1. Performance optimization - Cache enum existence checks
  2. Documentation - Add examples of new mode behavior differences

Low Priority:

  1. Code organization - Extract mode mappings to constants
  2. Test enhancement - Add property-based testing

Final Verdict ✨

This is a well-architected feature addition that demonstrates excellent engineering practices. The only significant concern is the incorrect mapping of new rounding modes, which should be addressed before merging. Once that's resolved, this will be a valuable addition to the library.

Recommended action: Request changes for rounding mode implementation, then approve.

Great work overall! 🚀

Remove version-dependent support for TowardsZero, AwayFromZero, and NegativeInfinity RoundingMode enums. These modes now consistently throw ValueError with clear error messages across all PHP versions, preparing for future proper implementation.

Changes:
- Update convertRoundingMode() to throw ValueError for unsupported modes
- Remove PHP version checks for these specific modes
- Update all related test cases to expect ValueError exceptions
- Improve test coverage for supported modes (HalfAwayFromZero, HalfTowardsZero, HalfEven, HalfOdd)
- Add comprehensive enum compatibility tests

Code Review: PHP 8.4 RoundingMode enum support with polyfill compatibility

Overall Assessment ✅

This PR provides a well-implemented solution for PHP 8.4 RoundingMode enum support with excellent backward compatibility. The implementation is solid, but there are several areas for improvement.

Code Quality & Best Practices

Strengths:

  • ✅ Excellent backward compatibility preservation
  • ✅ Clean polyfill implementation with proper conditional loading
  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage with DataProvider pattern
  • ✅ Good documentation and PHPDoc annotations
  • ✅ Proper exception handling with ValueError

Areas for Improvement:

1. Security & Validation ⚠️

  • Line 1009-1024: The convertRoundingMode() method should validate input types more strictly before instanceof checks
  • Recommendation: Add explicit type validation to prevent potential edge cases

2. Code Organization 📦

  • lib/RoundingMode.php:15: The conditional enum definition could be more robust
  • Suggestion: Consider wrapping in a try-catch to handle edge cases where enum_exists() might behave unexpectedly

3. Performance Considerations

  • Line 1012: enum_exists('RoundingMode') is called on every round() invocation
  • Optimization: Cache this check result as a static property for better performance

Potential Issues

1. Enum Detection Logic 🔍

// Current:
if (!enum_exists('RoundingMode') && version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '8.1', '>=')) {

// Consider adding error handling:
if (!enum_exists('RoundingMode') && version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '8.1', '>=')) {
    try {
        enum RoundingMode: string { ... }
    } catch (Error $e) {
        // Handle edge cases where enum definition might fail
    }
}

2. Type Safety 🔒

The convertRoundingMode() method parameter type is mixed but should be more specific:

// Current:
private static function convertRoundingMode($mode): int

// Suggested:
private static function convertRoundingMode(int|\RoundingMode $mode): int

3. Test Isolation 🧪

Some test methods could fail if the environment doesn't support enums. Consider adding more robust test skipping logic.

Security Concerns

Low Risk Issues:

  • Input validation in convertRoundingMode() could be more explicit
  • The enum polyfill loads into global namespace without namespace protection

Recommendation: Add input sanitization before processing modes.

Performance Considerations

1. Repeated Enum Checks

Cache the enum existence check:

private static ?bool $enumSupported = null;

private static function isEnumSupported(): bool {
    return self::$enumSupported ??= enum_exists('RoundingMode');
}

2. Match Expression Optimization

The match expression is efficient, but consider caching mode mappings for frequently used operations.

Test Coverage Assessment

Excellent Coverage:

  • ✅ 395 new test cases covering comprehensive scenarios
  • ✅ DataProvider pattern for systematic testing
  • ✅ Edge cases and error conditions well tested
  • ✅ Backward compatibility thoroughly verified

Minor Improvements:

  • Consider testing performance impact of repeated enum checks
  • Add tests for concurrent access scenarios (if applicable)

Configuration Changes

CI/Workflow Updates ✅

The workflow changes look good - enabling additional bcround tests is appropriate.

Removed Legacy Files ✅

Good cleanup of outdated configuration files (.scrutinizer.yml, .travis.yml, etc.).

Recommendations

High Priority:

  1. Add type hints to convertRoundingMode() method parameter
  2. Cache enum existence check for performance
  3. Add input validation before instanceof checks

Medium Priority:

  1. Consider error handling around enum definition
  2. Add performance benchmarks for the new functionality
  3. Document the polyfill behavior in user-facing documentation

Low Priority:

  1. Consider extracting enum mapping to a separate method
  2. Add more detailed inline comments for the match expression

Migration & Backward Compatibility ✅

The migration path is excellent - existing code continues to work unchanged while new code can opt into enum usage. The polyfill approach is well-designed.

Conclusion

This is a high-quality implementation that successfully bridges PHP versions while maintaining excellent backward compatibility. The comprehensive test suite and thoughtful design demonstrate good engineering practices. The suggested improvements are mostly performance optimizations and defensive programming enhancements rather than critical issues.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve with minor revisions - address the type safety and performance caching suggestions before merge.
