Hi internals!
During the PHP 5.6 development cycle I have proposed an RFC [1] that
suggested the use of exceptions instead of fatal errors in the engine. At
the time the proposal was declined, because the change was judged too
intrusive for a minor version.
As such I'm re-proposing this RFC for inclusion in PHP 7:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/engine_exceptions_for_php7
The RFC text is essentially the same as previously, with the primary
difference being that parse errors are now converted to exceptions as well.
This was previously not possible due to limitations in the compiler design.
Thanks,
Nikita
