## #48026 — Stanislav Malyshev — 2010-04-20T18:54:42+00:00

Hi!

I checked bug 50688: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50688

And discovered that the problem there stems form teh fact that for some 
reason exception when assembling the backtrace uses 
SEPARATE_ZVAL_TO_MAKE_IS_REF() - i.e. the agrs are put in the backtrace 
as refs.

Does anybody have an idea why is that and if it's used somewhere? No 
tests seem to fail if I change it to SEPARATE_ARG_IF_REF() but maybe 
there's something I am missing there. I tried to trace when it was 
introduced, etc. but it looks like it was so since forever, and the 
reason is unclear. Anybody knows what it could be?
