Hi, Closures can hold references to variables, but don't expose them to the garbage collector. The GC is unable to find cycles in which a closure is involved, and this can create memory leaks.
I've reported this problem in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60139 and posted a patch. Can someone please review it ? This fixes the problem by returning the closure's closed variables and this_ptr from get_properties (most of this has been copied from SplObjectStorage's get_properties). I would like to commit in 5.3 as well. Best Regards, -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
