[pkg-php-pear] Bug#850143: phpmd reports exponentiation with double asterisks as 'Unexpected token'

[Carsten Kosthorst]

Package: phpmd
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

phpmd reports exponentiation with double asterisks as 'Unexpected
token'. Double asterisks are a valid arithmetic operator since PHP 5.6:
<http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php>.

~$ cat foo.php && php foo.php && phpmd foo.php text cleancode
<?php

var_dump(2**2);
int(4)

/home/kosthorst/foo.php -       Unexpected token: **, line: 3, col: 11,
file: /home/kosthorst/foo.php.

   Carsten
