From: ch Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.0alpha3 Package: SNMP related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:SNMP class should use Exceptions instead of PHP Errors
Description: ------------ Hello Subject says all, IMHO it does not make sense to start writing a new class that does not use 100% exceptions. This bug is a follow up on #40816 which ended with: [2011-08-30 15:18 UTC] lytbo...@php.net > I have read a bunch of threads on php-dev about extensions throwing exceptions and the last thing I remember that extension should not throw any exception except object creation if there is no way to disable them. > Anyway, if to throw exceptions, library will throw an exception for each error, not only parsing error. Please, please, convinced yourself that Exceptions are cool and worth refactoring the code. I'd be willing to help with writing tests :) I'd be curious about the threads you mentioned (a quick google found nothing but then the keywords are very common) but there are already some extensions (spl/php_spl.c, mysql/php_mysql.c, reflection/php_reflection.c) that do throw Exceptions. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55542&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55542&r=mysqlcfg
