Okay I just tried this:
<?php
function testException()
{
require_once 'Zend.php';
try {
$x = Zend::exception('Zend_Exception', 'boo!');
throw $x;
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
echo "{$e->getMessage()}\n";
echo "file: {$e->getFile()}\n";
echo "line: {$e->getLine()}\n";
echo "trace: {$e->getTraceAsString()}\n";
}
}
testException();
?>
The output is:
--------
boo!
file: C:\zf\library\Zend.php
line: 229
trace: #0 C:\zf\library\testex.php(6): Zend::exception('Zend_Exception',
'boo!')
#1 C:\zf\library\testex.php(16): testException()
#2 {main}
--------
You're right, it isn't the line where it's thrown. It reports the file
and line where the exception class is instantiated, inside the
Zend::exception() function. But the stack trace shows where the
Zend::exception() function was called.
I changed the it to the more traditional:
throw new Zend_Exception('boo!');
And the output changed to this:
--------
boo!
file: C:\zf\library\testex.php
line: 8
trace: #0 C:\zf\library\testex.php(15): testException()
#1 {main}
--------
Regarding John's suggestion: the Exception class has no methods
setFile() or setLine().

Hi all,
Zend::exception() only returns an exception; it does not currently throw
an exception, by design, to avoid such obfuscation:
throw Zend::exception('SomeException', 'Some Message');

With Zend::exception() we avoid loading all those exception classes
that are only needed if an error occurs, which should be an exception.
So instead of loading these files or at least stat()ing it with an
opcode cache we waste some lines in a file that's loaded anyway. That
has nothing to do with bugs in any class.
But it's a good point that this method causes stack traces to become
obfuscated. It reports the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the exception as
occurring in Zend::exception, because that's where the exception is
actually thrown.
