PHP 5.6 **-Operator not recognized

[sudo-web]

Since PHP 5.6 there is the a alternative to the pow (Exponential expression)
e.g. you can use the **_-_Operator like this 10 ** 3 insted of pow(10, 3)
Unfortunately it is not recognized by php-compat-info Version 4.5.1

Currently only supported on branch 5.0 with migration analyser

I'll see how I can solved in 4.5 branch (currently master), for a possible 4.5.2
There won't have any 4.6 version. Next one is 5.0

When Exponentiation is used as argument of function/method, CompatInfo 4.5.1 already detect it

<?php
printf("2 ** 3 ==      %d\n", 2 ** 3);

But not yet with this syntax

<?php
$a = 2;
$a **= 3;
printf("a ==           %d\n", $a);

Solution available with fix b871a82

Will be part of future 4.5.2 (no date planned yet)
