Description:
------------
Once phpdbg_start_oplog() has been called memory usage increases as data is generated, whether or not it is assigned to a variable and garbage collection does not improve this.

The below test script demonstrates how the memory usage can grow in a short space of time. The memory increases just from the increment of $i, even if you remove the str_repeat.

On a large project, this causes the memory usage to grow as phpunit is run when generating coverage reports, until hitting the memory limit.


Test script:
---------------
<?php

function get_something($repeats) {
    for ($i = 0; $i < $repeats; $i++) {
        // Generate a 1MB string.
        str_repeat(rand(1, 10), 1 * 1024 * 1024);
    }
}

function print_memory_usage() {
    static $memory = null;
    if (null === $memory) {
        $memory = memory_get_usage();
    }
    printf("Memory is at %d bytes\n", memory_get_usage() - $memory);
}

function run($repeats) {
    print_memory_usage();
    for ($i = 0; $i < $repeats; $i++) {
        get_something($repeats);
        print_memory_usage();
    }

    print_memory_usage();
    gc_collect_cycles();
    print_memory_usage();
}

$repeats = 50;

echo "Running without phpdbg_start_oplog:\n";
run($repeats);

echo "Running with phpdbg_start_oplog:\n";
\phpdbg_start_oplog();
run($repeats);

Expected result:
