1.2.1644. strict_types Preference

strict_types is a PHP mode where typehint are enforced strictly or weakly. By default, it is weak typing, allowing backward compatibility with previous versions.

This analysis reports if strict_types are used systematically or not. strict_types affects the calling file, not the definition file.

<?php

// define strict_types
declare(strict_types = 1);

foo(1);

?>
