Description:
------------
see test script, explicit GC does not help

the issues seems present when the given callback to CallbackFilterIterator is bound (eg. not static)

https://3v4l.org/UpmHK

Test script:
---------------
class IteratorWithFilter
{
    public $generator;

    public function __construct(array $data)
    {
        $this->generator = new \ArrayIterator($data);
    }

    public function filter()
    {
        $this->generator = new \CallbackFilterIterator($this->generator, function ($row)  {
            return true;
        });
        
        return $this;
    }
}

function createIterator() {
    $iter = new IteratorWithFilter([['a'], ['b']]);
    return $iter->filter();
}

for ($i = 0; $i < 50 * 1000; $i++) {
    createIterator();
    
    if (($i % 1000) === 0) {
        // gc_collect_cycles(); // explicit GC does not help...
        echo round(memory_get_usage() / (1024 * 1024), 3) . " MiB\n";
    }
}

Expected result:
----------------
reported memory usage should stay below 1 MiB

Actual result:
--------------
0.375 MiB
1.719 MiB
3.071 MiB
4.36 MiB
5.774 MiB
7.064 MiB
8.353 MiB
9.892 MiB

You should declare the closure as `static` and you will get the desired result:

No! The CallbackFilterIterator must be GCable like any other object.

I simplified the test script (to use bound function with simple condition), I can not use static and I also mentioned this in the description. This is a clear bug to me.

Then create a closure, and pass it, clone + bindTo on assignment it to the scope which you want:

this is not working as well, Closure::bindTo is defined like "duplicate and bind", so you must assign the result

https://3v4l.org/Ggt54

then the issue remains - CallbackFilterIterator is not GCed even if there is no reference to it, it is a clear bug to me and it should be fixed

Duplicate of bug #65387.

Here is a solution using WeakReference:

I wonder if this can be fixed in php directly - using proper GCable solution or even with WeakReference
