ID: 65322 Updated by: tyr...@php.net Reported by: tyr...@php.net Summary: compile time errors won't trigger auto loading -Status: Open +Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: irrelevant PHP Version: 5.4.17 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: duplicate of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54054 which is in turn duplicate of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42098 from 2007. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-24 08:55:24] tyr...@php.net Description: ------------ I originally reported this under #65317 but after looking into it a bit more (thanks laruence) it turned out that the original report was a little bit misleading: the autoloader isn't prevented because we are already in an autoload call, but because the engine won't call the autoloaders for errors from compilation time(zend_lookup_class_ex): /* The compiler is not-reentrant. Make sure we __autoload() only during run- time * (doesn't impact fuctionality of __autoload() */ if (!use_autoload || zend_is_compiling(TSRMLS_C)) { if (!key) { free_alloca(lc_free, use_heap); } return FAILURE; } I would be curious how come that it is safe to call the autoloader (which in turn can do anything, include other files or call the autoloaders manually), but not safe to call the autoloader in this case. Test script: --------------- <?php set_error_handler(function($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline){ echo $errstr."\n"; new MyClass; }); spl_autoload_register(function($class){ echo $class."\n"; return eval("class $class{}"); }); eval(' class MyConcrete extends MyAbstract { public static function createInstance() {} } abstract class MyAbstract { public abstract static function createInstance(); } '); Expected result: ---------------- call the autoloader Actual result: -------------- autoloader not called, fatal error is triggered by the missing class ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65322&edit=1
