Summary0000313: sending an expression which cannot be evaluated at the time causes the script to stop executing
Description

Within a debug environment, a user may set up an expression to watch. This expression may or may not be valid at the time when xdebug is in break state and the eval is sent.
The expression to evaluate was
$myObj->myMethod();
but in the script being executed, myObj var doesn't exist, neither does the any class defining the myMethod method.

What I would have expected from xdebug when the eval was sent was an error saying unable to evaluate, instead I get a stop status instead.

Steps To Reproduce

Execute the following script
<?php

for($i = 0; $i < 5; ++$i)
{
$text = utf8_decode($text);
}

print "<pre><!-- Set the breakpoint on this line -->";

// Just dummy code after this
for($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i)
{
print $text."\n";
$text = utf8_encode($text);
}
print "</pre>";
?>

break anywhere, then try to eval $myObj->myMethod();

Additional Information

The following output is from the xdebug remote log.

I have noticed the same problem as described.
But I want to say that this doesn't have permanent error.
F.e. evaluation of incorrect expression "i" doesn't lead to described
behavior. All works fine and property with no value is returned as result.
But f.e. invalid expression "Thread.currentThread()" reproduce described
situation.

Please note that last response has strange form. It is unexpected ( stops
execution and debugging of script ) and also it doesn't have "command" argument
that could be pointed to command name original request.

I can reproduce this, but I don't see a way on how to fix this. The problem is that evals that don't work cause PHP simply to abort - nothing I can do about that. I did address the not having a command/transaction_id attribute in the response in CVS though.

That is not good that php terminates the current script. I am wondering
why it does though. I can write php eval code which tries to do something
similar and notice that the raise parse errors but it doesn't terminate
the script.

Okay, I checked, and it's not something that I can't avoid. THere are two cases where eval() might bail out:

  1. parse errors

PHP handles this correctly and let you continue with the script, see:

<?php
eval("g87^sfrsaf" );

echo "ALIVE\n";
?>

  1. calls to unknown functions methods

PHP will abort the script, see:

<?php
eval( "foobar();" );

echo "ALIVE\n";
?>

Xdebug's eval() behaves the same here.
