1.2.1271. Unresolved Catch¶
Catch clauses do not check for Exception existence.
Catch clauses check that the emitted expression is of the requested Class, but if that class doesn’t exist in the code, the catch clause is always false. This is dead code.
<?php
try {
// doSomething()
} catch {TypoedExxeption $e) { // Do not exist Exception
// Fix this exception
} catch {Stdclass $e) { // Exists, but is not an exception
// Fix this exception
} catch {Exception $e) { // Actual and effective catch
// Fix this exception
}
?>
