PHP can reuse memory, but doesn't do this. If this isn't a bug (that I'm
not agree with), then this is surely a feature request.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
Check the documentation which describes when cycles are collected:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/features.gc.collecting-cycles.php This
won't change.

Description:
------------
GC does not collect cycles before PHP issue "Allowed memory size
exhausted",
therefore it is possible for a script to get this error even if GC is
enabled and
there is enough memory to reuse.
To get error the script just has to fill all the remaining memory after
last GC
and before next, fill no matter how: with garbage or normal info.
It is obvious for me, that calling GC before issuing error is a must
have, as a
last possibility to continue normal execution.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(PHP_INT_MAX);
ini_set("memory_limit", "2M");
echo memory_get_peak_usage(true), "\r\n";
$o1 = new StdClass();
$o2 = new StdClass();
$o1->v1 = $o2;
$o1->v2 = $o1;
$o1->v = str_repeat("a", 1024 * 1024);
unset($o1, $o2);
echo memory_get_peak_usage(true), "\r\n";
$o1 = new StdClass();
$o2 = new StdClass();
$o1->v1 = $o2;
$o1->v2 = $o1;
$o1->v = str_repeat("a", 1024 * 1024);
unset($o1, $o2);
echo memory_get_peak_usage(true), "\r\n";
Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see the same result as if I run
<?php
...
echo memory_get_peak_usage(true), "\r\n";
$o1 = new StdClass();
$o2 = new StdClass();
$o1->v1 = $o2;
$o1->v2 = $o1;
gc_collect_cycles();
$o1->v = str_repeat("a", 1024 * 1024);
unset($o1, $o2);
echo memory_get_peak_usage(true), "\r\n";
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of * bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate *
bytes)
