Hi:

     As the previous threads disscussed,  I make a implemention.

     here is the RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/finally

     any suggestions?

The finally clause comes with a very strong promise that the code in the clause will run in absolutely any case (short of sigkill, maybe).

No it doesn't, at least not in Java. A fatal Java error or an explicit call to System.exit() will cause the finally clause to not be executed. It is a simple exception-level construct and doesn't in any way promise to be called in a fatal error situation. And regardless of what Java does, we are free to define it and provide whatever promises we want here, but keeping it in line with Java's implementation makes sense to me. -Rasmus Yeah, finally{} won't happen in absolutely any case. But if there's an exception that's uncaught it *should* still run.
