This PR
1)checks if EH_THROW(which signals to PHP to throw an exception from the error) is toggled and if so does not record an error because if uncaught it will be handled by the exception handler and if caught there's no need to record it.
2) add tests to verify fix

More details:
/*

  • For a the following error codes:
  • E_WARNING || E_CORE_WARNING || E_COMPILE_WARNING || E_USER_WARNING
  • PHP triggers an exception if EH_THROW is toggled on and then immediately
  • returns after throwing the exception. See for more info:
  • https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/main/main.c In that case, we
  • should not handle it, but we should exist and let the exception handler
  • deal with it; otherwise, we could record an error even if an exception is
  • caught. */

In the case where a php E_WARNING error was triggered.  We intercept the error from PHP and record it then pass execution back to PHP.

But, for instance, in the particular case that deals with a filehandling which toggles EH_THROW on here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/fileinfo/fileinfo.c#L176
PHP then handles the error but for a certain number of error codes, PHP triggers an exception if EH_THROW is toggled on: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/main/main.c#L1254C1-L1259C24
and then immediately returns after throwing the exception.

This leads to the case in the issue where the exception that was triggered is caught, but we recorded the error....
