#51047 [NEW]: keyword "continue": argument type-check would be safer

From: matze73 at hallo dot ms Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: keyword "continue": argument type-check would be safer Description: ------------ The 'continue' keyword can have a numerical argument which is not type-checked. Php could do a type-check on the argument that would catch (some) syntax errors where the ";" is missing after 'continue'. Please consider the syntax error of a missing ";" after 'continue'. The reproduce-code "eats" the following line during runtime. Reproduce code: --------------- if ( condition ) continue // missing ; here $a = "test"; Expected result: ---------------- The line $a = "test" is expected to be executed if condition is false. Actual result: -------------- The line $a = "test" is only executed if 'condition' is true. No warning during run-time although continue's argument-type is incorrect. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=51047&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51047&r=mysqlcfg
