Description:
------------
As description at
http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php
The "Array ordering when elements are automatically created during by reference assignments has changed" is written.
And there is no other description about array ordering in
http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.incompatible.php
But, when I have confirmed the result, I saw that the output of php5.6.21 and php7.1.0RC3 are same.

I think that it is bug of PHP7.1.0RC3, but please confirm it is a bug or not.
Thank you.



Test script:
---------------
1.
php56.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);"
Output:
array(2) {
  ["b"]=>
  &int(1)
  ["a"]=>
  &int(1)
}

2. // php7.0.6
php70.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);"
Output:
array(2) {
  ["a"]=>
  &int(1)
  ["b"]=>
  &int(1)
}

3.
php71.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);"
Output:
array(2) {
  ["b"]=>
  &int(1)
  ["a"]=>
  &int(1)
}



Expected result:
----------------
When executing this script
3.
php71.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);"

The output will be same the output of php7.0.6
array(2) {
  ["a"]=>
  &int(1)
  ["b"]=>
  &int(1)
}

Behavior changed between 7.1.0 alpha3 and 7.1.0 beta1.

Indeed, the behavior changed again as of PHP 7.1.0beta1, see
<https://3v4l.org/BPNL3>. Not sure if that is a bug or rather a
documentation issue.

The change is intentional. We found that we cannot support the evaluation order in PHP 7.0 in a way that is memory-safe in certain edge-cases, so we had to go back to the previous ordering. (However, evaluation of side-effects will still occur in left-to-right order.)

Okay; I think that a respective note in UPGRADING is appropriate.
FTR: see bug #71539.

I see that related bug has been reopened(bug #71539).
You mean that after this bug is fixed, the array order will be same as php 5.6 series, is that right?

Unfortunately, #71539 can't be fixed for BC reasons, so PHP 7.0
will keep the other ordering.
