From: Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.3SVN-2010-05-23 (SVN) Package: Reproducible crash Bug Type: Bug Bug description:class a {function __construct(){new a();}} new a(); # - kills php
Description: ------------ I know it's wrong to try to instantiate a class within it's own constructor, yet I thought that I should report the crashing of the php interpreter. Perhaps this case may expose an area of the interpreter that may cause other problems. Here is a sample script. <?php class a {function __construct(){new a();}} new a(); # - kills php ?> Here is the message produced (with php 5.3.2): Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 261904 bytes) in M:\workspace\html\directAbrasives\lib\t.php on line 1 Here is my php version: PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar 3 2010 20:47:01) Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies Running this code on PHP 5.2 didn't generate any message at all. Also, I tried a catching exceptions, yet it appears that none are thrown in this case. I am operating on WindowsXP. Cheers. -g Test script: --------------- <?php class a {function __construct(){new a();}} new a(); # - kills php ?> Expected result: ---------------- Some kind of error message with a line number saying you can't do this.
