Changes to Attribute::class constants in PHP 8.5 #537
Description
The following code:
var_export((new ReflectionClass(Attribute::class))->getConstants());In PHP 8.0-8.4 returns:
array (
'TARGET_CLASS' => 1,
'TARGET_FUNCTION' => 2,
'TARGET_METHOD' => 4,
'TARGET_PROPERTY' => 8,
'TARGET_CLASS_CONSTANT' => 16,
'TARGET_PARAMETER' => 32,
'TARGET_ALL' => 63,
'IS_REPEATABLE' => 64,
)
PHP 8.5 introduced attributes on constants, so the array in PHP 8.5 is:
array (
'TARGET_CLASS' => 1,
'TARGET_FUNCTION' => 2,
'TARGET_METHOD' => 4,
'TARGET_PROPERTY' => 8,
'TARGET_CLASS_CONSTANT' => 16,
'TARGET_PARAMETER' => 32,
'TARGET_CONSTANT' => 64,
'TARGET_ALL' => 127,
'IS_REPEATABLE' => 128,
)
How to address the issue?
Should the existing stub be updated with something like:
public const TARGET_CONSTANT = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 64 : null;
public const TARGET_ALL = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 127 : 63;
public const IS_REPEATABLE = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 128 : 64;
Or maybe a new Attribute class in src/Php85/Resources/stubs?
There is no ternary operator in any constant yet, and also there are not 2 the same classes for different PHP versions, so each of the above would be the first such solution
Or any better idea to address the problem?

I'd go with the 8.5 values. Can you please send a PR?
