Description:
------------
Exception's message as string is truncated at the first occurrence of a null byte, notably a problem when anonymous classes are involved, as their name does contain a null byte

thanks

Test script:
---------------
echo new Exception("XXXX " . get_class(new class{}) . " YYYY");

Expected result:
----------------
Exception: XXXX class@anonymous... YYYY in file:3
Stack trace:
#0 {main}

Actual result:
--------------
Exception: XXXX class@anonymous in /in/mft0e:3
Stack trace:
#0 {main}

Internally it comes down to the fact that the smartstr snprintf family function is not binary safe

i suspect this problem exists for some other places where errors are thrown, those all use C strings a lot. For example, it probably happens with type declaration errors.
