#26698 [NEW]: Thrown exceptions while evaluting argument to pass as parameter crash PHP

From: davidc at bLesys dot com Operating system: Win XP Professional PHP version: 5CVS-2003-12-22 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash Bug description: Thrown exceptions while evaluting argument to pass as parameter crash PHP Description: ------------ (bug was not fixed in beta3 also) While evaluting argument 3 to pass to method setProperties, an exception is thrown but any attempt to rethrow this exception/new exception or return from the method crashes PHP. Strangely, no problem is encountered if this exception is thrown while evaluting the first two arguments. The solution for now is to create a local variable that holds the contents of the argument. Then, we simply pass the local variable to the method, but this creates additional work for the programmer. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class x { function getFirst(){ throw ( new Exception( "No rows present"));} } class Proxy { function setProperties($c){} /* public void*/function setObject( $b, $obj, $res){ try { $res=new x(); $this->setProperties($a,$b,$res->getFirst()); } catch(Exception $e) { throw new Exception("Failed to get it!"); } } } $p =( new Proxy()); $p->setObject($this,$o,$ret);?> Expected result: ---------------- Thrown exception caught by PHP5's default handler (stack output, etc) Actual result: -------------- Apache2 dies -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26698&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26698&r=float
