Exclude if at class level are not merge

[mpoiriert]

Q	A
Bug report?	yes
Feature request?	no
BC Break report?	no
RFC?	no

Steps required to reproduce the problem

1. Create a class hierarchy of at leas 2 class (class B extends A)
2. Configure class B @exclude(if=true)

Expected Result

• Class B exclusion expression should be evaluate

Actual Result

• Class B exclusion expression is not evaluated

Look trough the flow I found out that the merge in the class hierarchy doesn't merge the value of the exclusion. Any exclusion of the top class in the hierarchy will have precedence.

Unless it's the expected behaviour it bake it really hard to have more define rules of class exclusion of child object.

I hope to have understood correctly the issue, but which class are you trying to serialize? A or B.

• If A, then the expected behavior is that the exclusion rule is ignored
• if B, then the rule should be considered

see #1204

Yes this is exactly what I meant. Thanks for the quick fix / release.

Just installed it and now the problem is that class B always override even if no exclude if have been configured...

I presume it should be:

if($object->excludeIf) {
    $this->excludeIf = $object->excludeIf;
}

Can you please check #1206 ?
