The behavior is the same for all PHP 7 versions: https://3v4l.org/GBpN8

Did you mean to write $bar =& $this->bar? If you don't use a by-reference assignment, you won't be able to indirectly modify the property.

No, on Windows the bahavior has changed:

/d/storage $ php --version
PHP 7.0.0beta3 (cli) (built: Aug  5 2015 12:17:06)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
/d/storage $ php test.php
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(Closure)#3 (0) {
  }
}
/d/storage $ php --version
PHP 7.0.0RC1 (cli) (built: Aug 20 2015 12:42:50)

/d/storage $ php test.php
array(0) {
}

On Linux probably too, since travis was ok!
- ok: https://travis-ci.org/nextras/orm/jobs/72314843
- broken: https://travis-ci.org/nextras/orm/jobs/76666269

I do not meant that proposed change. Since I'm returning object by magic getter, it's has no meaning to put the reference there. The reference would be important for that magic property, not the holding object itself, wouldn't be?

I did some git-bisecting (because we originally thought it was caused by a fix for #70262) and it lead me to 38151a38ec31af33e10513cc39e7cac8f819f120, a commit from 4 Mar 2014. Anything newer appears to return an empty array...

Tried with ./configure --disable-all --enable-cli on Debian x86_64.

It turns out what matter is NTS vs. TS build. If we modify the testcase to print more info

echo "PHP_VERSION: " . PHP_VERSION . "\n";
echo "PHP_ZTS: " . PHP_ZTS . "\n";
echo "\n";

we get the following results:


$ php test.php
PHP_VERSION: 7.0.0RC1
PHP_ZTS: 0

array(0) {
}

$ php test.php
PHP_VERSION: 7.0.0RC1
PHP_ZTS: 1

array(0) {
}

$ php test.php
PHP_VERSION: 7.0.0beta3
PHP_ZTS: 0

array(0) {
}

$ php test.php
PHP_VERSION: 7.0.0beta3
PHP_ZTS: 1

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(Closure)#3 (0) {
  }
}

You're right, I misread the example.
