Description:
------------
You must create a file with the specified code.
If you execute method "is_object" from "$this" and unset the object, then leaks memory. But if you call method "is_object" for "$object", then there are no problems.
In version 7.1 there are no problems. There are no problems in Windows.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Test {
    public function __construct() {
        for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; ++$i) {
            $this->result[] = rand(1, 1000);
        }
    }
    function object() {
        is_object($this);
    }
}

$memory = memory_get_usage();
for ($i = 0; $i < 1; ++$i) {
    $object = new Test();
    $object->object();
    unset($object);
}
var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memory);

$memory = memory_get_usage();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i) {
    $object = new Test();
    $object->object();
    unset($object);
}
var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memory);

$memory = memory_get_usage();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i) {
    $object = new Test();
    is_object($object);
    unset($object);
}
var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memory);


Expected result:
----------------
int(0)
int(0)
int(0)


Actual result:
--------------
int(37336)
int(3733600)
int(0)

please could you check again, with code like the below as I don't think the garbage collection kicks in immediately every single time, and also if it is actually a memory leak, the memory usage should continue to go up, rather than just be slightly higher for a moment. 

The output of the script below for me is:

int(0)
int(0)
int(32)
int(0)
int(0)
int(32)
int(0)
int(0)
int(32)...

        for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; ++$i) {
            $this->result[] = rand(1, 1000);
        }
    }
    function object() {
        is_object($this);
    }
}




function checkMemory($memoryAtStart)
{
    for ($i = 0; $i < 1; ++$i) {
        $object = new Test();
        $object->object();
        unset($object);
    }
    var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memoryAtStart);

    $memoryAtStart = memory_get_usage();
    for ($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i) {
        $object = new Test();
        $object->object();
        unset($object);
    }
    var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memoryAtStart);

    $memoryAtStart = memory_get_usage();
    for ($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i) {
        $object = new Test();
        is_object($object);
        unset($object);
    }
    var_dump(memory_get_usage() - $memoryAtStart);
}

$memoryAtStart = null;

for ($x=0; $x<100; $x++) {
    if ($memoryAtStart === null) {
        $memoryAtStart = memory_get_usage();
    }

    checkMemory($memoryAtStart);
    gc_collect_cycles();
}

It depends on the number of objects created.
The output for me is:

int(37336)

int(0)
int(3808384)

int(0)
int(7579320)
