Proxy not working with `stdClass`

[marcosh]

If I try to create a proxy of a stdClass as follows

$proxyFactory = new LazyLoadingValueHolderFactory();
$initializer = function (
    & $wrappedObject,
    LazyLoadingInterface $proxy
) {
    $proxy->setProxyInitializer(null);
    $wrappedObject = (object) ['bar' => 'baz'];

    return true;
};

$object = $proxyFactory->createProxy(\stdClass::class, $initializer);

$object->bar;

I get the following unexpected error: Undefined property: stdClass::$bar

Yes, dynamic properties will not work out of the box Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/

Would it make sense to just add a note about this in the documentation of the package? And maybe provide an example on how to make dynamic properties work?

I think this needs to be fixed, rather than documented as limitation. I would suggest starting from adding .phpt files for all dynamic properties scenarios (read/write/existence) in https://github.com/Ocramius/ProxyManager/tree/e18ac876b2e4819c76349de8f78ccc8ef1554cd7/tests/language-feature-scripts

Going back at this, I think we should not implement this: dynamic properties are a problem in the language per-se.

Documentation seems to be the correct way - sorry for the confusion 3 years ago :|
