Hello list! I have a comment about the @throws tag. I think this would be part of the PSR-5 discussion.
## Background On a generator function (a function with "yield" statement), a @throws tag has a special meaning: - Calling the function itself will NOT throw an exception. - Calling ->current(), ->valid() or ->next() on the returned object might throw an exception. On a function with "@return \Iterator" or "@return \Traversable", which is not itself a generator, a @throws tag can mean both: - The function itself might throw an exception. - The ->current(), ->valid() or ->next() on the returned object might throw an exception. ## Question Do we need a different kind of @throws tag for generators? Or do we simply live with the ambiguity? Or should a @throws tag be omitted if it does not apply to the function itself? ## See also The question came up when discussing the inspection behavior in PhpStorm, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-33767 The @throws tag is currently documented here, https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/proposed/phpdoc-tags.md#514-throws -- Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
