Description:
------------
Calling an undefined method in a generator results in an expected fatal error, 
but then a segmentation fault occurs afterwards.

Test script:
---------------
function gen($o)
{
	yield 'foo';
	$o->fatalError();
}

foreach(gen(new stdClass()) as $value)
	echo $value, "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
foo
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method stdClass::fatalError() in 
/home/jared/fatalSegFault.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::fatalError() in 
/home/jared/fatalSegFault.php on line 6

Actual result:
--------------
foo
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method stdClass::fatalError() in 
/home/jared/fatalSegFault.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::fatalError() in 
/home/jared/fatalSegFault.php on line 6
Segmentation fault

No APC or XDebug. 

Will recompile with debug and get a bt.
 [2012-09-11 13:46 UTC] Jared dot Williams1 at ntlworld dot com
It appears that the seg fault doesn't appear in debug builds. 

Recompiled without debug again, and the seg fault is still present

nikic, while method is not exists, then the EX(object)'s refcount will not be 
increased..

then this object will be dtor in genertor_close, and then the arguments of 
previous exeucte_data clean up.. 

nikic, please look at this.  thanks

There are several fatal errors that may trigger this. I added another patch that 
fixes (hopefully?) all of them.

Instead of loading the object directly into EX(object) I first put it into a 
temporary variable and only assign it to EX(object) after everything's good.

Does this seem reasonable?
 [2012-09-12 02:07 UTC] laruence@php.net
yeah, of course, my patch is just a hint :)

assign to dmitry, dmitry, could you please look at this?

Nikita,
 [2012-09-21 13:22 UTC] dmitry@php.net
Nikita, you patch must solve the particular problem, but not the general one. I just realized that "yield" is not just a statement, but may be used anywhere in expression context and even receive data. I expect, we may have more edge case troubles (e.g. memory leaks because of nested pass/call sequences) 

<?php
class C {
	function foo($x,$y) {
		var_dump($x,$y);
		return $x + $y;
	}
}

function gen($obj,$a,$b,$c) {
  $obj->foo($a, $obj->foo($b, $obj->foo($c, yield)));
}

$gen = gen(new C, 1, 2, 3);
$gen->current();
?>

Also it's absolutely unclear why I can use yield with expression as first argument, but not as the socond.

foo(yield "ok");    // works fine

foo(0, yield "ok"); // parse error
