Bug #72215 [Opn]: Wrong return value if var modified in finally

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72215&edit=1 ID: 72215 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: nikic@php.net Summary: Wrong return value if var modified in finally Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @laruence: Yes, it's not entirely unreasonable. But I think it's very odd that "return $a + 1" will use the old value of $a, while "return $a" will use the new one... This also ties in with our other problems with finally returns (the leak because we can't track liveness ranges, and bug #72216) -- if we fix any of them we'll probably automatically fix everything :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-16 03:26:54] laruence@php.net I think the current way also makes sense, not a big issue here, it depends how we explain it.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-13 23:26:25] nikic@php.net Description: ------------ Should return 1, the unmodified value, but returns 2. Test script: --------------- <?php function test() { $a = 1; try { return $a; } finally { $a = 2; } } var_dump(test()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72215&edit=1
