Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-04-10 16:24:20] david at grudl dot com Description: ------------ Operator === and a lot of native functions (such as in_array, array_search(), ...) can cause fatal error. Example: $foo = []; $foo[] = [ &$foo ]; array_search($foo, $foo); Problem is that this fatal error cannot be catched in try ... catch block. It would be nice if Error was thrown instead.
