Bug #65559 [Com]: Opcache: cache not cleared if changes occur while running

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65559&edit=1 ID: 65559 Comment by: nanobreaker at mail dot bg Reported by: zoeslam at gmail dot com Summary: Opcache: cache not cleared if changes occur while running Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: opcache Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: 5.5.3 Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I have the same problem. If I change a file nothing happens. For development purposes I tried to disable OPCache, but that doesn't work as well. Only way I can fix this problem is by rebooting the system. Details: Ubuntu Server 13.10 x64 PHP 5.5.3 Apache 2.4.6 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-19 14:04:26] arjen at react dot com -d opcache.revalidate_freq=0 will result in OPcache checking for updates on every request. You change the content DURING the request, so OPcache won't check for updates during the request. http://www.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php#ini.apc.stat "This defaults to on, forcing APC to stat (check) the script on each request to determine if it has been modified." Reads the same as opcache.revalidate. Because of your bugreport I guess apc.stat=1 checks the file on disk for modification on every include/require. And not just once per request, which is quite different.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-19 13:52:48] zoeslam at gmail dot com Well, just tested with php -d opcache.enable=1 -d opcache.enable_cli=1 -d opcache.revalidate_freq=0 test.php and the result is the same, int(1), so the issue is still alive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-19 13:46:45] Terry at ellisons dot org dot uk Why is this a problem? This is the analog of apc.stat. The only material difference here is that apc.stat=1 by default. OPcache defaults are different, but this is clearly documented. If you want OPcache always to revalidate scripts, then set opcache.revalidate_freq=0 as per README and documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-04 14:54:52] zoeslam at gmail dot com Maybe you are right, but this is a huge inconsistency, difference and compatibility break from APC, which was the default opcache in 5.4. (Just tested with Opcache disabled and php -d extension=apc.so -d apc.enabled=1 -d apc.enable_cli=1 test.php) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-04 14:48:41] arjen at react dot com Don't think this is a bug. opcache_invalidate()/opcache_reset() isn't called after the updated file is written to disk, so the opcache just doesn't know the file on disk has changed. The timestamps are only validated every 2 sec. by default, but only once per request.
