Bug #36897 debug_print_backtrace() doesn't return void but array(0) {}
Submitted: 2006-03-28 20:22 UTC Modified: 2006-03-28 21:43 UTC
From: colder@php.net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.x, 6.x OS: Irrelevant
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
debug_print_backtrace()'s manual page mentions that this function returns void.

In fact, it seems to return an empty array (tested under 5.1.2 and 5.1.1-gentoo)

I'm not sure what needs to be changed:

The function definition in the php source or the documentation. If its the latter one, then here is the patch:

Thanks in advance.

This is in fact not documentation problem - returning empty array is pointless and should be fixed.
I'll fix the function in a minute.
