Bug 192891 – Exceptions optimized out in dev-php5/eaccelerator-0.9.5.1 + >=dev-php5/php-5.2.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Chris Ribble 2007-09-18 06:41:56 UTC]

With versions of php greater than 5.2.1 the eaccelerator optimizer engine is unable to properly handle exceptions in PHP scripts. This issue is fixed in eaccelerator-0.9.5.2, but that version is not in the portage tree currently.

All users of >=dev-php5/php-5.2.1 in effect have no ability to use exceptions in their PHP code if they are using < eaccelerator-0.9.5.2. Please bump this version as this is a major problem for me (and I assume many others) on servers running this software combination.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dev-php5/eaccelerator-0.9.5.1 and dev-php5/php.
2. Restart your web server so that PHP loads the eaccelerator module.
3. Create a PHP script with a 'try'/'catch' block.
4. Add a section of code which throws an exception inside the 'try' block.
5. Execute the script in such a way that the exception is thrown.
6. Notice that PHP says "Uncaught exception in [file] at line [line]"

Actual Results:  
PHP says that the exception is unhandled, despite the 'catch' block.

Expected Results:  
Exceptions should be properly caught.

Please bump dev-php5/php-eaccelerator-0.9.5.2

Are you really sure this is still reproducable on Gentoo's eaccelerator-0.9.5.1? This is supposed to be fixed (as such marking as duplicate of another bump request bug), although it looks like it was fixed without a revision bump, so it might be necessary to re-merge eaccelerator.
