Description:
------------
it appears that PHP crash when trying to parse source code above 4GB in size,


notably the code below is not a syntax error if you change it to
$imax = (int)((1*1024*1024*1024)/strlen("'hello',"));

but if you just change the 1* to 4*, it's suddenly a "syntax error",
PS: don't recommend trying this on a system with less than 20GB ram, htop reported over 18GB ram while running..

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$str='<?php return array(';
$imax = (int)((4*1024*1024*1024)/strlen("'hello',"));
echo "generating..";
$str.=str_repeat("'hello',",$imax);
$str.=");";
echo "generated. writing.";
file_put_contents("wtf.php",$str);
echo "written. gcing";
unset($str);gc_collect_cycles(); // << dunno if that actually helps
echo ". done. including.";
require("wtf.php");


Expected result:
----------------
no syntax error

Actual result:
--------------
root@x2ratma:/temp/fag# time php fag.php 
generating..generated. writing.written. gcing. done. including.PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ''h' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting ')' in /temp/fag/wtf.php on line 1

you said you get OOM killed before being able to test it?
 on how much ram? 
 i have a 64GB ram system to test on, 
 and a 128GB ram system is on the way (should be ready in a couple of days)

@divinity76: I've tested this with 64GB RAM, which was not sufficient :) Maybe 128GB will be enough...

@nikic indeed it was; seems about 76GB of ram is needed to test this bug, and the current php-8.1.0-dev is immune :) 


quote from testing on a 128GB ram system:
