Description:
------------
As in function debug_backtrace(), the method Exception::getTrace() should return a array with a 'object' element, representing the current object.

The method Exception::getTrace() should also have a $provide_object parameter like the parameter in function debug_backtrace(), to disable the 'object'-element in the array.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
    public $bar;
    public function __construct($bar) {
        $this->bar = $bar;
        echo 'debug_backtrace: <pre>';
        var_dump(debug_backtrace());
        echo '</pre>';
        throw new Exception('Foo throws an exception!');
    }
}
try {
    $foo = new Foo('test');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Exception::getTrace(): <pre>';
    var_dump($e->getTrace());
    echo '</pre>';
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
debug_backtrace:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(7) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(50) "C:\server\apache\htdocs\forum\htdocs\bugreport.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(13)
    ["function"]=>
    string(11) "__construct"
    ["class"]=>
    string(3) "Foo"
    ["object"]=>
    object(Foo)#1 (1) {
      ["bar"]=>
      string(4) "test"
    }
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      &string(4) "test"
    }
  }
}

Exception::getTrace():

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(6) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(50) "C:\server\apache\htdocs\forum\htdocs\bugreport.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(13)
    ["function"]=>
    string(11) "__construct"
    ["class"]=>
    string(3) "Foo"
    ["object"]=>
    object(Foo)#1 (1) {
      ["bar"]=>
      string(4) "test"
    }
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(4) "test"
    }
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
debug_backtrace:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(7) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(50) "C:\server\apache\htdocs\forum\htdocs\bugreport.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(13)
    ["function"]=>
    string(11) "__construct"
    ["class"]=>
    string(3) "Foo"
    ["object"]=>
    object(Foo)#1 (1) {
      ["bar"]=>
      string(4) "test"
    }
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      &string(4) "test"
    }
  }
}

Exception::getTrace():

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(6) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(50) "C:\server\apache\htdocs\forum\htdocs\bugreport.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(13)
    ["function"]=>
    string(11) "__construct"
    ["class"]=>
    string(3) "Foo"
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(4) "test"
    }
  }
}

Why is this feature not yet integrated in PHP?
 [2013-01-04 19:38 UTC] lstrojny@php.net
A test is missing for the new functionality.

Unfortunately, proposed solution breaks the fix for bug #29368, since it keeps the 
reference to the constructed option. Better solution is needed (maybe better patch 
for #29368).

As a (hopefully) simple improvement to the current situation, would it be possible to have the class name of the object passed though?

At the moment, the "class" is the class the function is defined in, which makes sense, but if it's a base class then there's no way to find out which derived class the exception was really thrown in.

Example:
--------

<?php

class A
{
	public function foo()
	{
		throw new Exception();
	}
}

class B extends A
{
}

$b = new B();

try
{
	$b->foo();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
	var_dump($e->getTrace());
}


Expected result:
----------------

There should be a mention of "B" in the trace somewhere - in a new property "object_class" maybe?

Actual Result:
--------------

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(6) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(58) "c:\test.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(19)
    ["function"]=>
    string(3) "foo"
    ["class"]=>
    string(1) "A"
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}
