Description:
------------
Im trying to preload all ZF1 classes to opcache without any luck. Im preloading classes by block manually, I mean, all Zend/Db, all Zend/Cache, all Zend/Config and it works perfectly until a number of require_once or opcache_compile_file calls. 

It starts perfectly httpd service without any error but in the first http call I receive a crash with  Error in `/usr/sbin/httpd': double free or corruption.

Also I receive that crash/segmentation fault in those cases when I shutdown httpd service.

If I disable the preloading of one of the block classes (ie: Zend/Db) I can preload another block and it works, so I assume is something about the number of files of ZF1 im trying to preload (i know its old but without preloading its working ok)

Actual result:
--------------

Can you please provide the script you use for preloading?

[2019-12-06 14:16 UTC] klarkent911 at gmail dot com

Hello, I probably can answer since I have a similar issue even though it's totally not related to Zend.
Context: php-fpm running on a ubuntu based container
When trying to test our codebase against php7.4 with preloading enabled we get exactly the same problem.
Our preload file basically contains an `include_once 'vendor/autoload.php' and then a series of `require_once some_files.php` which require all the classes that we use from a proprietary framework.
There is nothing much special done there and the requires are around 210.

Putting this back to Feedback. We've fixed quite a few preloading bugs in the last week, would be great if you could recheck whether things are working now.

Still crashing in 7.4.1 RC1

I can prepare a very basic web application with ZF1 if you need it and send you wherever you want. Meanwhile, this is a small preload file content im using that its working. If you uncomment the block of Zend/Db classes it will crash when trying to load the site (when executing bootstrap) (at least in my case)

I've cloned the zf1 repo and used your preload.php (with Redis commented) with the following command:

~/php-7.4/sapi/cli/php -c ~/php-7.4/php.ini -d opcache.preload=preload.php -S localhost:8000 -t demos/Zend/Wildfire/public/ -d include_path=$PWD/library

I couldn't produce a segfault that way (but I only used demos/Zend/Wildfire/public because it was bundled and looked like web code...)

[2020-01-27 07:48 UTC] w1zzard at gmx dot net

Seeing the same issue on 7.4.2. 

The error will appear only after certain number of classes loaded. If I remove one class, I can load another.

Do you make use of opcache.preload_user? If so, this might be bug #79128.

[2020-01-27 11:06 UTC] w1zzard at gmx dot net

Correct, changing from opcache.preload_user=username to opcache.preload_user=root fixes the problem.

Thanks!

Why do the docs say "Preloading code as root is not allowed for security reasons. This directive facilitates to let the preloading to be run as another user."

[2020-01-27 11:12 UTC] nikic@php.net

> Correct, changing from opcache.preload_user=username to opcache.preload_user=root fixes the problem.

I don't think that works. The referenced issue occurs with any use of opcache.preload_user, independent of whether it's root or not. Specifying root might just work by luck.

> Why do the docs say "Preloading code as root is not allowed for security reasons. This directive facilitates to let the preloading to be run as another user."

Preloading under root is not allowed by default, but explicit use of opcache.preload_user=root is allowed, if you do want to run preloading under root (e.g. if you use Docker and you're root anyway).

[2020-01-27 11:33 UTC] w1zzard at gmx dot net

Indeed, the error happens with opcache.preload_user=root, too. I just got lucky on my first test run.

What's the recommended way to enable preloading now?

Empty opcache.preload_user results in Fatal Error "opcache.preload_user" has not been defined

[2020-01-30 11:58 UTC] w1zzard at gmx dot net

Guess that means no preloading with 7.4.2 either - wait for 7.4.3
