Dmitry,

I've tried to implement this myself, and it seems to work fine, but I end
up with some weird (unrelated?) test failures after:

https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/master...dshafik:too-few-args-exception

Example test failure:

========DIFF========
001+ Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost:8964): failed to open
stream: Connection refused in /Users/dshafik/src/
php.net/php-src/tests/basic/bug67198.php on line 29
002+ bool(false)
001- string(4) "PASS"

========DONE========

and:

I can't see how my change has affected this at all; but maybe I missed
something?

Could you review and see if you spot anything?

Thanks,

Morning all,

Good idea, +1 for just doing it ...

Cheers
Joe

I don't see a big problem accepting this. The change is really minor, and
makes sense.

Dmitry.

Hey all,

I know this is a little late in the process, but it's something I've
noticed while prepping some content around 7.1.

This RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/too_few_args

Passed, and has been implemented, but I feel that throwing an \Error
exception is a mistake. I think we should another more concrete exception
class for this error:

\TooFewArgumentsError extends \Error

A use case where this may trivially occur is where you are using argument
unpacking and the unpacked array is too small. Writing this, just looks bad:

try {
foo(… $args);
} catch (\Error $e) { }

compared:

try {
foo(… $args);
} catch (\TooFewArgumentsError $e) { }

Thoughts? Dmitry?

Given the tiny change this is, and that is backwards compatible with the
original RFC, I would like to add this to 7.1 for beta3.

I think I can make this change myself.
