Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:MessageFormatter::__construct should throw an exception for
invalid patterns
Description:
------------
MessageFormatter's constructor returns NULL when an invalid pattern is
given.
Instead, it should throw an exception.
This bug has already been reported twice before (see #52042 & #49161). Each
time the report was marked as bogus because the real problem got
overlooked. (the problem lies not in the given pattern being considered
invalid by ICU, the problem is in the constructor returning NULL)
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$f1 = msgfmt_create('en_US', '{this was made intentionally incorrect}');
echo 'f1 is ', gettype($f1), PHP_EOL;
$f2 = MessageFormatter::create('en_US', '{this was made intentionally
incorrect}');
echo 'f2 is ', gettype($f2), PHP_EOL;
$f3 = new MessageFormatter('en_US', '{this was made intentionally
incorrect}');
echo 'f3 is ', gettype($f3), PHP_EOL;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
f1 is NULL
f2 is NULL
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Invalid pattern'
in %s:%d.
Actual result:
--------------
f1 is NULL
f2 is NULL
f3 is NULL
