Description:
------------
If both opcache and blenc are enabled, blenc crashes php on every second request.

The first request compiles and runs the file correctly. On subsequent runs, php crashes when it tries to serve the script from opcache.

To make things simple, php was started with its embedded webserver (e.g. php -S localhost:8000).

Sometimes the script does not crash, but modifying the main script between two requests my help in producing the crash.

Blenc uses zend_compile_string to compile encrypted files. Somehow the resulting opcode-array is not handled well by opcache.

Example backtrace:

Core was generated by `php -S localhost:8000'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Test script:
---------------
first script:

<?php

$start = microtime( true );
require_once __DIR__ . '/class_1.phpe';
echo "took: " . number_format( microtime( true ) - $start, 6 ) . "\n";
echo "foo";

second script (class_1.phpe, encrypted using blenc):

<?php
class class_1
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo "created object from class 1\n";
    }

}






Expected result:
----------------
php does not crash

Actual result:
--------------
php crashes

Hi,

I'm not an extension developer but for me the first tests are working as soon as you add the following line to the PHP_RINIT_FUNCTION function:

zend_compile_file = blenc_compile;

I hope this helps even though it is a pretty old bug.

Hi!

Overriding zend_compile this way effectively prevents the script from being op-cached at all - so unfortunately this is not an option :(

Hi Nicolai,

happy new year ;-)

You are right. No script will be opcached if the zend_compile_file is overwritten in the RINIT Function.

I have another option for you if the blenc script does not have to be opcached but every not encrypted script should be cached. 

Use the opcache.blacklist_filename to exclude the encrypted scripts. they won't be cached of course but all other scripts will be cached.

For sure it's not a 100% solution but for me it is working this way.

Cheers
Phillip

Hi Phillip,

oh yes - happy new year :)

Unfortunately your suggestions is not a viable option for us - be'd need noth, "protection" and opcode caching.

Greetings

Nico

I'm suspending the reports for BLENC as it doesn't seem to have stalled (looking at both repositories I could find on git.php.net and github) and it does not seem compatible with any currently supported version of PHP either. Please unsuspend in case someone takes over this extension
