Well then, let me tell my customers their applications might break down
because
of this "feature". Thanks very much.

Without a constructor the arguments to the new call mean nothing and are
optimized away. The object is still created:
class A { }
$b = new A(new ThisIsANotExistingClass());
var_dump($b);
outputs:
object(A)#1 (0) {
}

As an addition (because it is probably the same problem):
class B {
public function __construct( ) {
echo 'B::__construct();';
}
}
class A { }
new A( new B( ) );
The above code prints nothing as well.

Description:
------------
I runned in a very weird issue. When i create a new object, with another
object instantation as argument, the 2nd object is not created if the
first class has no constructor. It looks the arguments are simply not
executed when the constructor is missing. When a constructor is added,
it works like it should.
I tested this with multiple 5.3 versions and its confirmed as not
working by multiple people.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class A {}
new A(new ThisIsANotExistingClass());
Expected result:
----------------
A nice fatal error since ThisIsANotExistingClass is missing.
Actual result:
--------------
The scripts runs fine and nothing apears on the screen.
