Bug #62419 [NEW]: RuntimeException throws fatal error if passing a previous exception to the ctor

From: bugs dot php at mohiva dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: 5.4.4 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:RuntimeException throws fatal error if passing a previous exception to the ctor Description: ------------ If you pass a previous exception to the constructor of the RuntimeException class, then PHP throws a fatal error without an error message. I have tested those exceptions which are derived from RuntimeException, and they all work fine. The same counts for the base Exception class. Test script: --------------- <?php throw new RuntimeException("Exception message", 0, new Exception()); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' ... on line 3 Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: in exception.php on line 3 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62419&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62419&r=mysqlcfg
