Description:
------------
Stream Wrapper defined in PHP Userland segfaults on fwrite (see code).

Couldn't reproduce it on Linux, only on OS X :(



Reproduce code:
---------------
stream_wrapper_register("one", "StreamOne");
$fd = fopen("one://tmp/bla","w");
$bla = fwrite($fd, "test");
fclose($fd);
class StreamOne {
    function stream_open ($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path) {
        return true;
    }
    function stream_write($data) {
        return strlen($data);
    }
    function stream_close() {
        return true;
    }    
}

Expected result:
----------------
nothing

Actual result:
--------------
segfault.

seems to work with 4.3.3 but not with 4.3.4..

[2004-02-08 16:20 UTC] chregu@php.net

I could track the bug down to be introduced between 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 in 

Zend/zend.* 
and/or
Zend/zend_alloc.* 

I'm absolutely no Zend-Engine expert, therefore I can't really help you any further here or even trying to fix it by myself... But if you need more information, just ask ;)

Hmm, I couldn't replicate this on Panther. Nothing 
seemed to go wrong. What extensions are enabled in the 
build? Here's mine.

phpinfo()

[2004-02-08 21:36 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net

"--with-libxml-dir=" really wasn't meant to be there 
indeed :)

[2004-02-09 04:27 UTC] chregu@php.net

here's my config line

'./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/bxphp/
apache/conf' '--prefix=/usr/local/bxphp/' '--with-apxs=/
usr/local/bxphp/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-dom=/sw/' '--
with-tidy=/usr/local/' '--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/sw/' 
'--with-png-dir=/sw/' '--with-expat-dir=/sw/' '--with-
iconv=/sw/' '--with-iconv-dir=/sw/' '--with-xml=/sw/' 
'--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/sw/' '--enable-debug=no' 
'--with-mime-magic=/sw/share/file/magic.mime' '--with-
dom-xslt=/sw/' '--with-dom-exslt=/sw/'

I'll try with a minimal set of extensions and see if the 
problem persists.

[2004-02-09 05:25 UTC] chregu@php.net

it crashes even with the default config:

phpinfo()
PHP Version => 4.3.5RC2

System => Darwin chregu.local 7.2.0 Darwin Kernel 
Version 7.2.0: Thu Dec 11 16:20:23 PST 2003; root:xnu/
xnu-517.3.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh
Build Date => Feb  9 2004 11:18:45
Configure Command =>  './configure' '--with-expat-dir=/
sw/' '--with-zlib'

[2004-02-09 05:44 UTC] sniper@php.net

I get the same crash with PHP 4.3.3..
# uname -a
Darwin foobar 6.8 Darwin Kernel Version 6.8: Wed Sep 10 15:20:55 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.49.obj~2/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc

[2004-02-09 13:33 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net

Finally I managed to reproduce the crash. It looks like 
--enable-debug suppresses the bus error. Really 
strange... Another endian issue?

[2004-02-09 13:50 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net

Here's the patch:

http://www.voltex.jp/downloads/bug27183-
preliminary.diff.txt

The error is obvious: one shouldn't store a transient 
pointer to a transient zval that resides in the stack 
frame :)

[2004-02-10 16:02 UTC] chregu@php.net

moriyoshi's patch works for me.

[2004-02-11 12:02 UTC] iliaa@php.net
