static ReflectionClass
getPropertyDeclaringClass(ReflectionProperty $prop)

Returns a reflection of a class or trait that contains a declaration of given property. Property can also be declared in the trait.

getMethodDeclaringMethod(ReflectionMethod $method)

Returns a reflection of a method that contains a declaration of $method.

static bool
areCommentsAvailable()
