Interface PHPStan\Reflection\ExtendedMethodReflection

`extends`	`MethodReflection`

Extended method reflection with additional metadata beyond MethodReflection. This interface exists to allow PHPStan to add new method query methods in minor versions without breaking existing MethodsClassReflectionExtension implementations. Extension developers should implement MethodReflection, not this interface — PHPStan wraps MethodReflection implementations to provide ExtendedMethodReflection. Provides access to:

Extended parameter signatures (ExtendedParametersAcceptor with PHPDoc/native types)
Named argument variants (different signatures when using named arguments)
Type assertions (@phpstan-assert annotations)
Self-out types (@phpstan-self-out for fluent interfaces)
Purity information (@phpstan-pure/@phpstan-impure)
PHP attributes (including #[\NoDiscard])
Resolved PHPDoc block This is the return type of Type::getMethod() and Scope::getMethodReflection().

Methods
`public`	`getVariants(): list<ExtendedParametersAcceptor>`	#
`public`	`getNamedArgumentsVariants(): list<ExtendedParametersAcceptor>\|null` Returns alternative signatures used when the method is called with named arguments. Returns null if the named argument variants are the same as regular variants. Returns alternative signatures used when the method is called with named arguments. Returns null if the named argument variants are the same as regular variants. Implemented by `PHPStan\Reflection\Php\PhpMethodReflection::getNamedArgumentsVariants()`	#

`public`	`getAsserts(): Assertions` Implemented by `PHPStan\Reflection\Php\PhpMethodReflection::getAsserts()`	#
`public`	`getSelfOutType(): ?Type` Used for fluent interfaces where calling a method changes the generic type parameters of $this (e.g. a builder pattern).

`public`	`isPure(): TrinaryLogic` In most cases hasSideEffects() is more practical as it also accounts for void return type (methods returning void are always impure).

`public`	`mustUseReturnValue(): TrinaryLogic` On PHP 8.5+ if the return value is unused at runtime, a warning is emitted. PHPStan reports this during analysis regardless of PHP version.
