PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues
Bug description: exception handling
Description:
------------
the compiler ought to bypass exceptions in "try" blocks, and allow a
"catch block" to catch the exception at runtime. in other words, "try"
blocks should turn compile-time errors to run-time errors. try blocks
shouldn't depend on the throw keyword before throwing exceptions, errors in
try blocks should automatically cause exceptions to be thrown. otherwise
the current Exception class is only as good as this statement
"if(class_exists(Book)){//main code} else{//warning code}" for the code in
my example.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
try{
$err=new Book(); //class Book does not exist
//more code
}
catch(Exception $e){
print "class does not exist";
exit();
// or throw another exception that ends the program
//in another block.
}
Expected result:
----------------
output:(should look like this)
class does not exist
(python and java behave like this, i hope there will be some
consistence in logic, among open source languages )
Actual result:
--------------
program does not compile,
error message: Fatal error (actually says Fatel error),
class 'Book' not found on C:/XXXX/XXX
