Hi,
I remember that we discussed the question of exception throwing from
core in the very early days of php 5, when the suggestion of turning
all errors into exceptions first came up. I remember that we decided
that exceptions should only be thrown from core on constructor errors
by default. Along the lines of PDO, extensions could allow users to
explicitly enable an exception mode.
This popped up again as I picked up on IRC that the imagick extension
is quite exception throwing happy. I do realize that this is a pecl
extension, so maybe core rules do not apply (core<->pecl relations
should also be addressed ASAP if you ask me).
Anywas, am I remembering things correctly? Is this still our policy?
If not do we have (want?) a policy?
Either way, could we get a decision (or the fact that we do not want
a decision) added to the coding standards?
regards,
Lukas
