Hi! I am assuming we have broad consensus about the move from BaseException to Throwable. I've looked at the patch at https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1282 and it seems pretty close to what we want to me. The only difference is that https://wiki.php.net/rfc/throwable says Throwable is an interface and this patch makes it abstract class - which I guess makes some sense as both Exception and engine errors need the same properties - but I'm not sure if it doesn't mess something up. Sebastian, could you comment on this? Of course, other comments are welcome too.
There's a question left about the naming - particularly, renaming EngineException to Error. I'm not sure I am a fan of this. I think it's better to leave it as EngineException, but I'm open to arguments here. One thing seems to be clear though - a) there's a broad support for introducing Throwable and b) we need to do this before we release PHP 7 alpha. So I think we need to start converging on something really soon. I'd like to take https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1282 as a baseline, and once we close open questions about interface/abstract class and the name of the Error class, merge it - targeting sometime within the timeframe of the next week. If someone thinks it's impossible or should not be done, please tell. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
