Problem/Motivation

"Casted" is not a contemporary English word. The past tense is "cast". However, "casted' is used in method names for the Typed Data API (and therefore documentation and parameter names as well).

Proposed resolution

  • Provide new methods for misspelled methods, e.g. PrimitiveInterface::getCastValue() and deprecate the old ones.
  • Rename internal parameters etc. appropriately.
  • Update documentation to refer to "cast" and "uncast" values rather than "casted" and "non-casted".

Remaining tasks

TBD

User interface changes

TBD

API changes

TBD

Data model changes

The final patch will also need to address occurrences from #2751325: All serialized values are strings, should be integers/booleans when appropriate.

Do canonical development references also agree with this usage? Unfortunately, none of the books within arms reach that I would consider as such talk about type-casting. I have several at home, though, that likely do.

"Casted" is not a contemporary PHP word, either.

http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php

Type casting in PHP works much as it does in C: the name of the desired type is written in parentheses before the variable which is to be cast.

(Emphasis added.)

Edit: The only uses of "casted" I could find on php.net were in comments. :)

It's in Symfony https://github.com/symfony/symfony/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=casted and PHP https://github.com/php/php-src/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=casted codebases.

I have a lot of books on languages and type theory (a lot, as in, I have a problem). K&R 1 and 2 are the only that mention "cast", and only use it as a noun; coercion is the verb form. I have a message into one of my computer language research friends. And my comment wasn't to bikeshed this, just to get it correct if we are trying to correct an improper usage.
