Bug #53545 [NEW]: Infinite method recursion causes crash

From: Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.15 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Infinite method recursion causes crash Description: ------------ The following script causes PHP to crash. I initially noticed it on my hosting, but since it uses nginx as a frontend server I can't confirm that bug appears on linux as well, as all I see is a 500 error. Test script: --------------- <?php class Foo { public function test() { return $this->test(); } } $foo = new Foo; $foo->test(); Expected result: ---------------- Either out of memory or max execution time exceeded error Actual result: -------------- Crash -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53545&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53545&r=mysqlcfg
