ID: 65317 Updated by: tyr...@php.net Reported by: tyr...@php.net Summary: spl autoload won't work inside an autoload -Status: Open +Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.4.17 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I've created a new report with the updated info and testcase to avoid confusion, see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65322 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-23 17:29:32] tyr...@php.net Btw. isn't the fact that the error handler is called proves that the compiler is eiher reentrants or that the compilation is done? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-23 17:13:58] tyr...@php.net hm, that explains why nobody really reported it. as far as I can remember most compile time errors are fatal which won't trigger the error handler anyways, and the others are E_STRICT, which wasn't really used before we included it to E_ALL in 5.4. maybe we should reconsider adding new compile time non-fatal errors until we can properly support it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-23 17:09:26] larue...@php.net my previous comment is not right. it real reason is here, in (zend_lookup_class_ex): /* The compiler is not-reentrant. Make sure we __autoload() only during run- time * (doesn't impact fuctionality of __autoload() */ if (!use_autoload || zend_is_compiling(TSRMLS_C)) { if (!key) { free_alloca(lc_free, use_heap); } return FAILURE; } so, the error is trigged in compiling MyAbstract... so is in compile time... so,, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-23 17:05:35] tyr...@php.net it was introduced by Dmitry: http://git.php.net/?p=php- src.git;a=commitdiff;h=9305339d94c701e8eda93dbf0231d70918ef4a6a "Changed "instanceof" and "catch" operators, is_a() and is_subclass_of() functions to not call __autoload()." so nothing about generic recursion protection or explicitly talking about calls from another autloader method. I would guess this specific scenario wasn't really intentional, but let's ask Dmitry about his thoughts. Personally I think that it is rather surprising and unintuitive and it was a little bit tricky to figure it out why the code didn't worked as I've expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-23 16:51:46] larue...@php.net Hey, it should be a intention behavior: zend_class_entry *zend_fetch_class_by_name(const char *class_name, uint class_name_len, const zend_literal *key, int fetch_type TSRMLS_DC) /* {{{ */ { zend_class_entry **pce; int use_autoload = (fetch_type & ZEND_FETCH_CLASS_NO_AUTOLOAD) == 0; it seems try to prevent some recursive autoload, then stack overflow so.... won't fix IMO (it's really a edge case :)) maybe document it instead? thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
