Thank you, Nikita! That’s something which definitely needs to be done. Catching parse-errors from includes, bad function/method calls, etc. will let us make complex code-bases more robust and predictable. I think introduction of BaseException is a necessity. This way code will stay compatible and new exceptions will just end their life somewhere in shutdown-handler, just as fatal errors do now. Rowan proposed to use subclasses for different exception types — I believe it can wait a bit. There is no need to overcomplicate this. New classes would be added eventually, but as they will be extending EngineException forward-compatibility is preserved. converting fatal-errors is a safe-enough change to be done in 5.NEXT. converting some of the warnings is a good topic for starting 6.x -- Alexey Zakhlestin CTO at Grids.by/you https://github.com/indeyets PGP key: http://indeyets.ru/alexey.zakhlestin.pgp.asc
