method named 'empty' results in 'Unexpected token: empty'

[lucasvanlierop]

This code

<?php
declare(strict_types = 1);

final class Test
{
    public static function empty()
    {
    }
}

Results in:
Unexpected token: empty, line: 6, col: 28, file: Test.php.

Seeing same error on a non-static method. Seems like related to #389.

Just had this issue too - also appears to happen with the reserved words NEW, EMPTY, and DEFAULT that are explicitly allowed as method names or in my case constants: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.keywords.php.

It depends on pdepend/pdepend#383

Sadly pdepend/pdepend#383 will not be enough, I tested with dev-php-7.1-compatibility and the unexpected token is still there. It should be handled afterward.

In fact, the token_get_all itself produces this misleading result:

After function, the tokenizer should give us a T_STRING, but it actually gives a T_EMPTY. That means the PHP parser handle it while it should be the responsibility of the tokenizer (lexer) if well enclosed.
