Bug #71092 Segmentation fault with return type hinting
Submitted: 2015-12-11 14:05 UTC Modified: 2015-12-11 16:40 UTC
From: emilie dot guth at gmail dot com Assigned: laruence (profile)
Status: Closed Package: *General Issues
PHP Version: 7.0.0 OS: Mac OS X Version 10.11.1 (15B42)
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I get a segfault with this code while including an empty file (see test script which contains a.php and c.php).

This bug comes from a larger script, so I tried to get the shortest test script I could. When I change a tiny little thing (switch to if, no id() function ...) in it, there is no more segfault.

I'm working on Mac OS X Version 10.11.1 with PHP 7.0.0 :
$ php -v
PHP 7.0.0 (cli) (built: Dec 11 2015 14:48:07) ( NTS )


I tried the same code on an Ubuntu 15.10 computer with PHP 7.0.0 there is no problem at all.

Test script:
---------------
File a.php : 
<?php
declare(strict_types = 1);

function id() {
	return ['id'];
}

function boom(): array {
	$data = [id()];
	switch($data[0]) {
		case ['id'] : return;
	}
}

set_exception_handler(function($e) {
	require_once './c.php';
	echo "plop";
});

boom();
?>

File c.php :
<?php
?>


Expected result:
----------------
I am supposed to be shown "plop" as a result.

Instead of that I get :

$ php a.php
Segmentation fault: 11

Reduced script:

<?php

function boom(): array {
    $data =  [['id']];
    switch($data[0]) {
        case ['id']:
            return;
    }
}

boom();

We free the switch var before return and then exception loop var cleanup likely tries to free it a second time.
