#33598 [NEW]: Throwing exception from __destruct causes fatal error

From: carlo dot razzeto at mtginfo dot com Operating system: Linux version 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsm PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Throwing exception from __destruct causes fatal error Description: ------------ When performing an operation which throws an exception in the __destruct method of a class, the following Error is generated Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0 I have only observed this happening when an object goes out of scope because the script has ended. Rather than generating a scripting engine error, PHP should allow for the script to deal with the error, for instance when an exception handler has been specified by the script. Reproduce code: --------------- class test { function __construct() { echo "Construct\n"; } function greet() { echo "Hello World\n"; } function __destruct() { echo "Destruct\n"; throw new Exception( 'test' ); } } $test = new test(); $test->greet(); Expected result: ---------------- Construct Hello World Destruct Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'test' in /home/crazzeto/test.php:13 Stack trace: #0 /home/crazzeto/test.php(13): test::__destruct() #1 /home/crazzeto/test.php(20): test::__destruct() #2 /home/crazzeto/test.php(20): unknown() #3 {main} thrown in /home/crazzeto/test.php on line 13 Actual result: -------------- [crazzeto@DEVEL crazzeto]$ php test.php Construct Hello World Destruct Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33598&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33598&r=mysqlcfg
