ID: 62810 Comment by: burke dot cates at gmail dot com Reported by: burke dot cates at gmail dot com Summary: IteratorIterator changes the class of the inner iterator, breaking some calls Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SPL related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I forgot the password for this bug, so I can't close it. I just tested with php 5.4.6 and this problem seems to have been fixed. I'm guessing it was part of either bug #62629 or bug #62616 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-13 15:57:26] burke dot cates at gmail dot com Description: ------------ in case the test script is unreadable, https://gist.github.com/3341836 . I have a class, A, that implements SeekableIterator, Countable in my codebase that defines all the required methods (count(), next(), seek(), valid(), current(), key()). When I have an instance of this class, $a, and construct a new IteratorIterator-extending class, B with instance $b, by passing in $a to B's constructor, a call to $b->count(), for example, will fail if A::count() is defined to use any fields also defined in A. An example is shown in my test script by simply extending ArrayIterator for the sake of simplicity. I override its count() method to echo the $extra field. The "Notice" line in the output shows that PHP is attempting to find $extra in B ($b), but it is not there since B is defined as an extension of IteratorIterator. This only happens when calls are going through the IteratorIterator, as a var_dump($b->getInnerIterator()) show that the innerIterator is the proper class. I tried to figure out why this is happening on my own, so I started looking through the spl_iterators.c code to figure out why this is happening. I ended up at Line 1534[1], which shows the ce of the inner getting set to the ce of the object being initialized. [1] spl_iterators.c, line 1534 : https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/spl/spl_iterators.c#L1534 Test script: --------------- class A extends ArrayIterator { private $extra; public function __construct($extra) { $this->extra = $extra; parent::__construct(array(1,2,3,4,5)); } public function count() { var_dump($this); echo "extra: {$this->extra}\n"; return 5; } } class b extends IteratorIterator { } $a = new A("not gonna see this"); $b = new B($a); echo "A: "; $a->count(); echo "\n\nB: "; $b->count(); Expected result: ---------------- A: object(A)#1 (2) { ["extra":"A":private]=> string(18) "not gonna see this" ["storage":"ArrayIterator":private]=> array(5) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) [2]=> int(3) [3]=> int(4) [4]=> int(5) } } extra: not gonna see this B: object(b)#2 (0) { *not really sure what this should look like* } extra: not gonna see this Actual result: -------------- A: object(A)#1 (2) { ["extra":"A":private]=> string(18) "not gonna see this" ["storage":"ArrayIterator":private]=> array(5) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) [2]=> int(3) [3]=> int(4) [4]=> int(5) } } extra: not gonna see this B: object(b)#2 (0) { } Notice: Undefined property: b::$extra in /root/blankdir/test.php on line 12 extra: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62810&edit=1
