Doc #64193 [NEW]: Nested Exceptions with autoloader

From: mostvotedplaya at gmail dot com Operating system: Centos 6.3 PHP version: 5.4.11 Package: Dynamic loading Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Nested Exceptions with autoloader Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php --- I'm not sure if this is just a documentation bug or whether it goes further but in the documentation regarding nested exceptions it shows that they can be rethrown but in this case it doesn't appear that way, ReflectionClass uses __autoload to attempt to load the subject and once an exception arrives it just ignores the Reflection try block which for some people may be correct because ReflectionException has lower priority of Exception with it just being extended, but still the documentation should be updated to reflect this. Test script: --------------- <?php function __autoload( $f ) { $f = sprintf( '%s.php', $f ); if ( is_readable( $f ) ) { include $f; return; } throw new Exception( "Failed to autoload: $f" ); } try { try { $class = new ReflectionClass( "FooBar" ); if ( $class->isInstantiable() ) { return; } } catch ( ReflectionException $e ) { throw $e; } } catch ( Exception $e ) { echo '<pre>', print_r( $e, true ), '</pre>'; } Expected result: ---------------- ReflectionException Object ( [message:protected] => Class FooBar does not exist [string:Exception:private] => [code:protected] => -1 [file:protected] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php [line:protected] => 25 [trace:Exception:private] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php [line] => 25 [function] => __construct [class] => ReflectionClass [type] => -> [args] => Array ( [0] => FooBar ) ) ) [previous:Exception:private] => ) Actual result: -------------- Exception Object ( [message:protected] => Failed to autoload: FooBar.php [string:Exception:private] => [code:protected] => 0 [file:protected] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php [line:protected] => 18 [trace:Exception:private] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [function] => __autoload [args] => Array ( [0] => FooBar ) ) [1] => Array ( [file] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php [line] => 25 [function] => __construct [class] => ReflectionClass [type] => -> [args] => Array ( [0] => FooBar ) ) ) [previous:Exception:private] => ) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64193&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64193&r=mysqlcfg
