ReflectionProperty does not return the PHPDoc of a property if it contains an attribute with a Closure #20895
Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
#[\Attribute(\Attribute::TARGET_PROPERTY)]
class Hello {
public function __construct(
public ?Closure $world = null,
) {
}
}
class Foo {
/**
* @var string
*/
#[Hello(static function() {
return null;
})]
public $bar;
}
$reflectionProperty = new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'bar');
var_dump($reflectionProperty->getDocComment());Resulted in this output:
bool(false)
But I expected this output instead:
string(30) "/** * @var string */"

The doc comment is incorrectly assigned to the Closure:

Thanks for the feedback.
I see it now, but in this case, how can we assign the doc to a property instead of the Closure? Assuming this is the order (DOC > Attributes) of things?
I mean, even libraries such as Symfony Serializer rely on it to determine the type of a property when it is not explicitly specified.

A proposed fix is in #20896.
