Bug #62210 [Asn]: Exceptions can leak temporary variables

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62210&edit=1 ID: 62210 Updated by: dmitry@php.net Reported by: nikic@php.net Summary: Exceptions can leak temporary variables Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I confirm the bug, but I don't see a simple way to fix it. In general, it's possible to extend zend_op_array with information about ranges of temporary variables livenes, but overhead is going to be too high.

In the above case the array hash table is leaked. The reason is that the FREE opcode for the temporary variable is never executed due to the exception. Exceptions only free temporary loop variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62210&edit=1
