Bug #78143 [Nab]: SoapClient::__construct with no arguments cannot be caught

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78143&edit=1 ID: 78143 User updated by: gadelat at gmail dot com Reported by: gadelat at gmail dot com Summary: SoapClient::__construct with no arguments cannot be caught Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 7.3.6 Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This bug report isn't reporting that PHP 7.3 started to complain about user not passing in required parameters. Both PHP 7.2 and 7.3 did do that already. Difference here is that this error cannot be caught since PHP 7.3 anymore. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-03-23 14:25:40] cmb@php.net Well, the first parameter to SoapClient::__construct() is supposed to be mandatory, this is not even a change that should be documented, but rather the mentioned bug fix established the proper behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 14:15:22] cmb@php.net This behavioral change has been introduced by fixing bug #77088. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 12:47:42] gadelat at gmail dot com Description: ------------ So this is PHP 7.3 BC break and I can't find it in https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration73.incompatible.php Constructing SoapClient with no arguments can no longer be caught. It's very likely other classes are affected as well. Where can I read about this BC break? PS: Sorry for not selecting soap package when creating issue, but I don't see it anywhere in a list Test script: --------------- try { new SoapClient(); } catch (Throwable $e) {} // PHP 7.2 no output, PHP 7.3 result: Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in php shell code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78143&edit=1
