== Why is this an issue?

Creating a new ``++Exception++`` without actually throwing it is useless and is probably due to a mistake.

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,php]
----
if ($x < 0)
  new Exception('$x must be nonnegative');
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,php]
----
if ($x < 0)
  throw new Exception('$x must be nonnegative');
----
