Bug description: Implementation issue: getMessage() in SPLs Exception
Description:
------------
The declaration of getMessage() as final in the SPLs Exception class makes
it impossible to encapsulate other (Userland-)Exceptions and provide
appropriate functionality.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class UserException extends Exception {
private $encapsulatedException = null;
public function __construct($message = null, $e = null)
{
if ($e !== null && ($e instanceof Exception) {
$this->encapsulatedException = $e;
} else {
$this->encapsulatedException = null;
}
parent::__construct($message);
}
public function getMessage()
{
$message = parent::getMessage();
if ($message == null && $this->encapsulatedException !== null) {
echo $this->encapsulatedException->getMessage();
}
}
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
It should be possible to override the getMessage()-method to decide wether
to return the message the object was instantiated with or the message of
the encapsulated Exception.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Cannot override final method Exception::getMessage()
