Req #69027 [Opn]: Backtrace does not include class

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69027&edit=1 ID: 69027 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: roborg at gmail dot com Summary: Backtrace does not include class Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 7.0.0beta1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I agree, it might be useful in some cases. However, for the information to be provided by default in traces, we would need to change the default behaviour of the function. This has non-obvious implications, possibly effecting things like unit testing, or some other components that rely on the format of a trace. Here is a patch: http://pastebin.com/fKwxbBaZ I haven't changed the default behaviour in the patch, only made it possible to get called class. What I would suggest is that you play with the patch, and when you are happy with it, whip up an RFC: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto I'm going to suspend the report, because nobody can act on this request without an RFC.

In the example below, there's even though the call is on a B object, there's no mention of B in the backtrace, which cane make debugging very difficult. I would suggest adding an extra item to the trace, e.g. "object_class", alongside class. Test script: --------------- <?php class A { protected $val = 0; public function ex() { throw new Exception('Value is ' . $this->val); } } class B extends A { protected $val = 1; } try { $b = new B(); $b->ex(); } catch (Exception $e) { print '<pre>' . print_r($e->getTrace(), true) . '</pre>'; } Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\bug.php [line] => 21 [function] => ex [class] => A [object_class] => B [type] => -> [args] => Array ( ) ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\bug.php [line] => 21 [function] => ex [class] => A [type] => -> [args] => Array ( ) ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69027&edit=1
