Description
@prettier/plugin-php v0.24.0
Playground link
Input:
<?php
new class {}::class;
Output:
Parse Error : syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS) on line 3
1 | <?php
2 |
> 3 | new class {}::class;
| ^
Workaround I recommend to use for now:
get_class(new class {});

Research direction
Start with the linked Playground reproduction for new class {}::class; and compare it with the documented get_class(new class {}); workaround. Trace the parser or formatter entry point reached by this input. Done means the input no longer produces the reported unexpected T_CLASS parse error.
