True, but if you instead of throwing the same exception, threw a new one, you could capture both stacks.

The same could be said of the current behaviour:

throw new PDOException($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e);

Since this contains both "throw" and "new", it's guaranteed a new stack trace in either convention. So the question remains which is the *more likely* desired behaviour if you *don't* re-wrap it, and I honestly don't know the answer. -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
