Phpunit, why is this dead code?

Question

I am using PHPUnit (4.1.3) and it calls something like dead code:

it really annoys me. Its OK that the codes after returnare dead, but the call to the closing parenthesis is because the dead code is just an iterator

Answer 1

The problem is parsing XDebug, so the closing bracket is not executed after the return statement, since the code leaves this function and does not actually close. This is a known issue in the XDebug / PHP / PHPUnit parsing / execution space.
