[Bug] Result of empty construction on model properties

[TimurFlush]

Hello.

Actual for 3.4.2, and possibly for 4.0 branch.

Please see:

class SomeModel extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Model 
{
    # It's a protected property.
    protected $someProperty;

    # It are getters.
    public function setSomeProperty(){}
    public function getSomeProperty(){ return 'someValue'; }
}

/** @var SomeModel $model **/

var_dump(empty($model->someProperty)); //true (Actual behavior)
var_dump(empty($model->getSomeProperty())); //false (Need behavior)

getSomeProperty() { return 'someValue'; } returns non-empty result.
Or this is just a typo in the example code?

[TimurFlush]

@ViltusVilks
getSomeProperty() is a getter for someProperty, because someProperty is protected property. In this case, empty construction must be return false, but returns true on the protected property.

This is because empty will call __isset (if defined) on inaccessible properties. Related to #13518.
