there's a good reason for classes being marked as non-serializable, so it follows that the same should probably be true for json_encoding them as well. As this flag is only available to internal classes, no userland code should be affected.

Makes sense but all deprecations are going through RFC so it needs to wait till 8.5. |

yes. absolutely. this is meant for 8.5 |
anonymous classes are market as ZEND_ACC_NOT_SERIALIZABLE because unserisalizing them for later use is hard to impossible. However, in the case jon json_encode(), as long as the parent class is serializable, there's very little reason to forbidding to json_encode() anonymous classes, indeed, that's probably very useful in case of userland parent classes.

This test should be located in the corresponding tests directory for json extension, ext/json/tests. And despite the outcome of the discussion on the internal list, I would see the benefit of including the tests now. I was surprised that those paths were not tested already.

This is the implementation of an RFC I'm currently in the process of authoring after there was some mild agreement about this making sense when I asked on internals.
