Hi Nikita,
When we developed php 7.0, we replaced most calls to get_class_name() by simple obj->ce->name reading. However, this functionality was used by some 3-rd part extensions (e.g. Zend JavaBridge and may be pecl/perl). These extensions create proxy classes and control remote objects through RPC. Actually, we broke the previous behavior of backtrace* and get_class()/get_parent_class() functions. Backtrace may be fixed even in 7.0 with the following patch: https://gist.github.com/dstogov/d84183da9b0d958dfe5cb8d711c8d677 However, we can't fix get_parent_class(), because we changed get_class_name() handler prototype (removed "parent" argument). get_class() may be fixed but I don't like to do this without get_parent_class(), because they are going to be inconsistent. What do you think about fixing backtrace in 7.0? In my opinion, it looks consistent with other "debug" functions, e.g. var_dump() etc Oz, as I understood, you already found a workaround for get_class/get_parent_class introducing get_java_class(). right? so, do you think it worth to fix get_class/get_parent_class in 7.1? (I think no) Thanks. Dmitry.
