Description:
------------
Since php 5.2.0 stream_select fails to return the number of modified
descriptors on a 64bit Linux OS (32bit seems to be immune to this). 
Verified to exist in the php-snap php5.2-200703052130.

This bug is the same as #40458 but I am unable to modify the status of
that bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$sock = stream_socket_client('tcp://maila.microsoft.com:25', $eno,
$estr, 10, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT);
stream_set_blocking($sock, 0);
sleep(1);

$r = $w = array($sock);
$n = stream_select($r, $w, $e = NULL, 10);

echo "Selected: {$n}\n";
echo "Read: ", print_r($r,1);
echo "Write: ", print_r($w,1);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Selected: 2
Read: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)
Write: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)

Actual result:
--------------
Selected: 0
Read: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)
Write: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)

Tested on Linux/Intel 64, Linux/AMD 64, Linux/PPC 64 & Solaris/SPARC 64.
In all cases I get:
Selected: 2
Read: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)
Write: Array
(
    [0] => Resource id #5
)

What information can I provide to help determine the cause of this 
problem on my system? Thanks!
[5 Mar 2007 11:12pm UTC] tony2001@php.net
An SSH account would be helpful.
[6 Mar 2007 12:54am UTC] rodricg at sellingsource dot com
Allowing ssh access to my machine will require me to request a 
firewall change which may take some time. However, I have found this 
behavior only presents itself when PHP is compiled with 
the --with-curlwrappers option.  Explicitly disabling this option 
returns my machine to the expected behavior.  Cheers!
[6 Mar 2007 11:24am UTC] tony2001@php.net
I still get the expected result even with --with-curlwrappers.
[6 Mar 2007 9:08pm UTC] rodricg at sellingsource dot com
After further testing it seems that --with-curlwrappers is not the 
culprit but gcc optimization is.  Using gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 
4.1.1-r3) I get the expected behavior when compiling with 
CFLAGS="-pipe" but the erroneous behavior when compiling with 
CFLAGS="-pipe -O2".  This is regardless of the curlwrappers setting.  
Sorry about the initial misinformation.  Forgetting a make clean 
between several of my tests led me to the wrong conclusion.  Just 
tried -O1 and it seems to be ok, will try with a different version 
of gcc.
[6 Mar 2007 9:14pm UTC] tony2001@php.net
Try with GCC 4.1.2.
GCC 4.1.1 is known to have some problems.
[12 Mar 2007 4:54pm UTC] rodricg at sellingsource dot com
Same behavior with gcc 4.1.2.  I'm chalking this up to gcc 
optimization and will compile with -O1 for now.
[13 Mar 2007 11:05am UTC] tony2001@php.net
I still have no idea how to replicate it.
[13 Mar 2007 4:26pm UTC] rodricg at sellingsource dot com
The following script reproduces the behavior (for me):

http://11434.com/stream_select.sh

Changing -O2 to -O1 or removing --with-openssl fixes the problem.

gcc version 4.1.2
openssl version 0.9.8d
[13 Mar 2007 7:24pm UTC] tony2001@php.net
Still works perfectly fine with or without OpenSSL, with and without
-O2.
I think I'll need an acccount on your machine to reproduce it.
[16 Mar 2007 11:06pm UTC] nlopess@php.net
I have a x86(-32) gentoo box with the same gcc version as you and your
script works perfectly. anyway if this is a compiler error, you need
report it to gentoo guys, that will then investigate to see if it is
caused by their patchset or not.

It is even worse on the current Debian Sid, with 5.2.3-1+b1. It returns
0 and the modified arrays contain just nothing, but there is obviosly
data available there. Tested with slightly adapted code from 
http://netevil.org/blog/2005/may/guru-multiplexing .
[3 Aug 2007 10:42pm UTC] rodricg at sellingsource dot com
Just verified that I still see the same behavior with:
php-5.2.3
openssl-0.9.8e
gcc-4.1.2

I am using the same test script as before.  

Changing it to use:

-O1 --with-openssl
     *or*
-O2 --without-openssl
 
gives the correct behavior.

Nobody else is able to reproduce this on several different (or same)
types of systems -> bogus. (reopen if you can reproduce this on 2
different machines using Fedorda..I can't. :)
[29 Oct 2007 7:15am UTC] patrick at chegg dot com
I'm also seeing this problem... the code from rodricg produces the same
(incorrect) result, returning Selected: 0. I was testing my own
application which is how I found the bug, but rodricg's test script
provides the same result. I do not have my original script, however I
had a working version and when I moved everything to a class the
incorrect return value became a problem, leading me to believe this is a
PHP bug.

This is also an x86_64 machine with openssl and curl.

Send me an email, I will provide a test account as needed to those with
a @php.net email. Recompiling with -O1 did NOT solve the problem for me.

This was sent to me via email so I'm posting it here in the interest 
of collecting all relevant information.

Closing in favor of #42682 which has more information (no need to have
two reports about same issue)
