Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected, as the checking is done in runtime.

But if we add an empty constructor, it will work as expected. Test script: --------------- new stdClass(NOT_EXISTING_FUNCTION()); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function NOT_EXISTING_FUNCTION() Actual result: -------------- Nothing. Object was created without errors ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54162&edit=1
