hi @laurence, thank's for taking the time to review it. If I write code like
unset($this);
it does not fatal error either (you can not destroy a object while you are
calling
it.).
Also I don't want to destroy the closure, I just want to re-use that variable.
Can't you just let the garbage collector do the dirty work?

you can not destroy a closure while you are calling it.
when you override $f in $f, zend vm try to destroy the closure $f, since the
refcout of it is 1.
try following :
$b = $f = function() use (&$f) {
$f = function() {};
};
$f();
$f();

Description:
------------
It's not possible to make use of variable aliasing in PHP when the alias is
used
within the use clause of a lambda function construct that is assigned to that
variable (recursion).
PHP denies to do what it is commanded with a Fatal error: Cannot destroy active
lambda function. But the function is not destroyed. It's just not that the
variable container contains the identifier of it.
I'd like to change that, and I don't want to waste another variable name. Also
I
don't understand how I can actually destroy something I should not have any
access
to from PHP userland.
Or if that is intended, please allow us to destroy the active lambda making the
function return NULL and continue to execute.
Test script:
---------------
$f = function() use (&$f) {
$f = function() {echo "hello"};
};
$f();
$f();
Expected result:
----------------
hello
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Cannot destroy active lambda function
