Description:
------------
Affect named capture groups when duplicate names are enabled (?J) In 7.4.10 named capture group always returns the content captured in last alternative, no matter which of the alternatives matched.

In 7.4 this issue
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79257
was fixed only for PREG_SET_ORDER mode, but in PREG_PATTERN_ORDER mode this bug still has a place. Сhecked in version 7.4.10

Test script:
---------------
preg_match_all('/(?J)(?:(?<g>foo)|(?<g>bar))(?<h>baz)/', 'foobaz', $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
var_dump($matches);

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => "foobaz"
        )
    [g] => Array
        (
            [0] => "foo"
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => "foo"
        )
    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => ""
        )
    [h] => Array
        (
            [0] => "baz"
        )
    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => "baz"
        )
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => "foobaz"
        )
    [g] => Array
        (
            [0] => ""
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => "foo"
        )
    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => ""
        )
    [h] => Array
        (
            [0] => "baz"
        )
    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => "baz"
        )

Another example:
preg_match_all('/(?J)<(?<CHAR>\d+)>|<(?<CHAR>\w+)>/u', '1 <01> 2 <PP> 3', $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => "<01>"
            [1] => "<PP>"
        )
    [CHAR] => Array
        (
            [0] => ""    // must be "01"
            [1] => "PP"
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => "01"
            [1] => ""
        )
    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => ""
            [1] => "PP"
        )
)

I can confirm the bug, but it looks hard to fix. Would require merging result sets after the fact, where we don't even have definite information on whether a group matched or was just incidentally empty.
