Marks a lazy object as initialized without calling the initializer or factory

# ReflectionClass::markLazyObjectAsInitialized

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

ReflectionClass::markLazyObjectAsInitialized — Marks a lazy object as initialized without calling the initializer or factory

### Description

public ReflectionClass::markLazyObjectAsInitialized(object `$object`): object

Marks a lazy object as initialized without calling the initializer or factory. This has no effect if `object` is not lazy or is already initialized.

The effect of calling this method is the same as described for Ghost Objects (regardless of the laziness strategy of `object`) in initialization sequence, except that the initializer is not called. After that, the object is indistinguishable from an object that was never lazy and was created with ReflectionClass::newInstanceWithoutConstructor(), except for the value of properties that were already initialized with ReflectionProperty::setRawValueWithoutLazyInitialization() or ReflectionProperty::skipLazyInitialization().

### Parameters

`object`
  The object to mark as initialized.

### Return Values

Returns `object`.

### Examples

Example #1 Marking an uninitialized lazy object as initialized

`<?php
class Example
{
public string $prop1;
public string $prop2;
public string $prop3 = 'default value';
}
$reflector = new ReflectionClass(Example::class);
$object = $reflector->newLazyGhost(function ($object) {
echo "Initializer called\n";
$object->prop1 = 'initialized';
});
$reflector->getProperty('prop1')
->setRawValueWithoutLazyInitialization($object, 'prop1 value');
var_dump($object);
$reflector->markLazyObjectAsInitialized($object);
var_dump($object);
?>`

The above example will output:

    lazy ghost object(Example)#3 (1) {
      ["prop1"]=>
      string(11) "prop1 value"
      ["prop2"]=>
      uninitialized(string)
      ["prop3"]=>
      uninitialized(string)
    }
    object(Example)#3 (2) {
      ["prop1"]=>
      string(11) "prop1 value"
      ["prop2"]=>
      uninitialized(string)
      ["prop3"]=>
      string(13) "default value"
    }

Example #2 Marking an initialized object as initialized

`<?php
class Example
{
public string $prop1;
public string $prop2;
public string $prop3 = 'default value';
}
$reflector = new ReflectionClass(Example::class);
$object = $reflector->newLazyGhost(function ($object) {
echo "Initializer called\n";
$object->prop1 = 'initialized';
});
$reflector->getProperty('prop1')
->setRawValueWithoutLazyInitialization($object, 'prop1 value');
var_dump($object->prop3);
var_dump($object);
$reflector->markLazyObjectAsInitialized($object);
var_dump($object);
?>`

The above example will output:

    Initializer called
    string(13) "default value"
    object(Example)#3 (2) {
      ["prop1"]=>
      string(11) "initialized"
      ["prop2"]=>
      uninitialized(string)
      ["prop3"]=>
      string(13) "default value"
    }
    object(Example)#3 (2) {
      ["prop1"]=>
      string(11) "initialized"
      ["prop2"]=>
      uninitialized(string)
      ["prop3"]=>
      string(13) "default value"
    }
