From: cataphract Operating system: Windows 7 x64; Debian Lenny x64 PHP version: trunk-SVN-2010-09-28 (SVN) Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:call_user_func_array still allows call-time pass-by-reference
Description: ------------ zend_call_function does not properly convert references into non-references, hence allowing passing by reference arguments to functions that expect values. See also bug #43484. This is harder to do with internal function because there's currently a variable separation for those. However, it's still not impossible, because if I'm not mistaken there are ways to make the engine give you a variable with is_ref = 1, refcount <= 1. I propose making the behavior for internal functions consistent with that of user functions by separating the variable all time if it's a reference and the parameter is to be sent by value; for cases where is_ref = 1, refcount <= 1, the reference flag should be cleared. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = 1; function test($a) { $a++; } test($a); echo $a; call_user_func_array('test', array(&$a)); echo $a; Expected result: ---------------- 11 Actual result: -------------- 12 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52940&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52940&r=mysqlcfg
