Hi internals,
By default, strings in parameter lists are truncated to 15 bytes by default in
Throwable->getTraceAsString()
(and Throwable->__toString() as a consequence).
(in Zend/zend_exception.c in
static void _build_trace_args(zval *arg, smart_str *str))
This limit is too short to see relevant information such as file paths, full urls, etc, which makes
reporting bugs in applications inconvenient.
Would there be any interest in an ini setting such as exception_string_length_limit as
a non-negative value to raise this (either allowed to be 0 or more or 15 or more, defaulting to 15)
It's possible to manually work around it by calling Throwable->getTrace(), but inconvenient,
and there's always a concern about the user-space trace generation having its own issues
(e.g. https://github.com/phan/phan/blob/3.0.3/src/Phan/Debug/Frame.php#L25-L132)
In applications that don't have a custom exception handler, users could raise this to make
creating bug reports easier.
```
php > test('12345678901234567890');
Warning: Uncaught Exception in php shell code:1
Stack trace:
#0 php shell code(1): test('123456789012345...')
#1 {main}
thrown in php shell code on line 1
```
Thanks,
- Tyson
