Re: Exception::__toString() not called

Hello Timm, hello Andi, i htought i had a better solution to the __toString() problem. But then i found out why we made it so complex. The reason IIRC was to prevent __toString() being called everywhere automatically when it is a user function. Havin said this the solution is very easy. We expand the signature of cast_object to inform about exactly this - whether user space functions may be called or not. From _convert_to_string() we set that param to zero and from make_printable_zval we set it to 1 and inside the cast function we only need to verify the type of the function if necessary. Even better would be to add a flag that disallows usercode functions. Because with such a flag we do not have a problem if a conversion calls an internal method which then calls a userspace function which it shouldn't. Anid?
