Re: List of possible E_RECOVERABLE_ERRORs

Hi. I hate to ask an outright question on the list rather but I've been searching the last 5 hours for an answer to this and haven't found anything and it's a rather tight corner case. I'm working on a small package for PHP 5.x that uses set_error_handler() to convert E_RECOVERABLE_ERRORs to the appropriate PHP 7 exceptions. I know I can't emulate things exactly - my goal is to get things so that PHPUnit tests can use the same @expectedException annotation for these scenarios, simplifying unit test writing. As far as my research has found E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR has only ever been used for type hint failures. Are there any other errors that have this type, and if so to what PHP 7 exception should they be converted?

You should be able to figure out with a grep of the source code for use of that constant (it has the same name in C as in PHP). A quick glance on lxr.php.net shows a few other uses: http://lxr.php.net/search?q=&defs=&refs=E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR&path=&hist=&project=PHP_5_6 Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
