Wrong "dead catch" error, side effects of ArrayAccess not considered #11427

Closed

Description

@thg2k

Bug report

The implementation of ArrayAccess can throw exceptions, causing statements like unset($x[1]); actually throw.

Of the examples in the sample link, only $x[1] = ... correctly assumes an exception might be thrown (i.e. offsetSet), while offsetGet/offsetExists/offsetUnset are not considered.
