#33996 [NEW]: No information given for fatal error on passing invalid value to typed argument

From: phpbugs at majiclab dot com Operating system: Mac OSX 10.4 PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: No information given for fatal error on passing invalid value to typed argument Description: ------------ When passing an invalid value as a typed argument (as in ! ($argument instanceof typedclass)), a Fatal Error is given, with the following information: Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in index.php on line 7 The problem is line 7 is the declaration of the function, not the line of code that called the function. It makes bug tracing on a big project next to impossible! Even using ZDE Professional has the same results: I cannot find the function that caused the error (and since the error is fatal, there is no more stack for me to look at). The same goes for missing arguments. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foo { // nothing } function FooTest(Foo $foo) { echo "Hello!"; } function NormalTest($a) { echo "Hi!"; } NormalTest(); FooTest(); FooTest(new Foo()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Warning: Missing argument 1 for NormalTest() in /.../index.php on line 17 Hi! Warning: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in /.../ index.php on line 18 Actual result: -------------- Warning: Missing argument 1 for NormalTest() in /.../index.php on line 12 Hi! Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in /.../index.php on line 7 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33996&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33996&r=mysqlcfg
