I see. So, E_ERROR and E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR do not inherit from Throwable or from Error? Also, is
there any public information about the technical reasons these ERRORs cannot subclass Error?
Thanks

Since PHP 7, fatal and recoverable fatal errors are used specifically in situations where throwing
an exception is not possible for technical reasons. These cases will be ported to throw Error
exceptions if and when the technical issues are resolved.

Description:
------------
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR halts the interpreter. While shutdown_function is called, one cannot handle
framework shutdown, responses, and logging in an appropriate manner.
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR should be catchable by a catch( Throwable $t) or catch(ERROR
$e), and finally blocks _must_ be executed.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$x = new stdClass();
try {
echo $x;
} catch (Throwable $t) {
echo "Yeah, we couldn't convert that to a string. Log error and respond to client's
request";
echo $t->__toString();
} finally {
echo "Seriously? I must be wrong";
}
Expected result:
----------------
Something like:
Yeah, we couldn't convert that to a string. Log error and respond to client's request.
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string
Seriously? I must be wrong
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in
/tmp/foo.php on line 5
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() /tmp/foo.php:0
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /tmp/foo.php on
line 5
