issue with wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php

[bryanlteague]

Running PHP 8.0.3

I receive the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function WP_Widget::__construct(), 0 passed in /var/www/html/marketing/wp-includes/class-wp-widget-factory.php on line 62 and at least 2 expected in /var/www/html/marketing/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php:163

The function call on line 163:

public function __construct( $id_base, $name, $widget_options = array(), $control_options = array() ) { 

This needs to be updated to:

public function __construct( $id_base=null, $name=null, $widget_options = array(), $control_options = array() ) {
