Bug #72213 Finally leaks on nested exceptions
Submitted: 2016-05-13 14:55 UTC Modified: 2016-05-20 19:50 UTC
From: nikic@php.net Assigned: laruence (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: master-Git-2016-05-13 (Git) OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2016-05-13 14:55 UTC] nikic@php.net
Description:
------------
Attached script causes a leak:

caught b
[Fri May 13 16:51:34 2016]  Script:  '/home/nikic/php-src/t275.php'
/home/nikic/php-src/Zend/zend_objects.c(174) :  Freeing 0x7F6FB46740C0 (152 bytes), script=/home/nikic/php-src/t275.php
=== Total 1 memory leaks detected ===

The leak is the exception backed up in the outer fast_call, which needs to be discarded.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
function test() {
    try {
        throw new Exception('a');
    } finally {
        try {
            throw new Exception('b');
        } finally {
        }
    }
}

try {
    test();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "caught {$e->getMessage()}\n";
}

This patch does not look correct to me...

First, it breaks this code:

<?php
function test() {
    try {
        throw new Exception(1);
    } finally {
        try {
            try {
                throw new Exception(2);
            } finally {}
        } catch (Exception $e) {}
    }
}

try {
    test();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "caught {$e->getMessage()}\n";
}

Previously this correctly threw Exception(1), matching Java. Now nothing is thrown instead.

Second, it only avoids the leak for one nesting level. This will still leak:

<?php
function test() {
    try {
        throw new Exception('a');
    } finally {
        try { 
        } finally {
            try {
                throw new Exception('b');
            } finally {
            }
        } 
    }
}

try {
    test();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "caught {$e->getMessage()}\n";
}
