 New Comment:

right, but it can't break something because the function can accept
references.

It's just unnecessary copying, but I suppose that it's a very rare case.

Ah right, the part after the if in line #854 is still executed.



You also seem to have missed an implication of in your commit, because
with a value + SEND_PREFER_REF, the newly separated value will be have
is_ref set to 1 by that part in #880 - #882.



The test script in the report gives this result:



direct call

[0x43436c0, refcount=1] int(1)

[0x4343d20, refcount=2] &string(1) "a"

[0x4343710, refcount=1] int(7)

call via zend_call_function

[0x43436c0, refcount=3] int(1)

[0x4343d20, refcount=4] &string(1) "a"

[0x43426d8, refcount=2] &int(7)

I agree that separation might be omitted, but with your patch we just
convert value into reference without separation. In case of no
separation we also have to prevent Z_SET_ISREF_PP(fci->params[i]);

That does it.



On a minor note, the fix does an unnecessary zval separation. The need
to separate the zval if !fci->no_separation, the zval is not a reference
and the function expects a reference is because, presumably, if the
target function expects a reference, it may assume it has one and then
change the zval without separation. However, if it *prefers* a
reference, it presumably doesn't rely on having one and it's
(presumably...) safe not to separate the zval (see
http://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=52939&patch=zend_call_user_function_prefer_ref&revision=1285639039
)
