Bug #68765 [Com]: Commands with @ must not be evaluated by opcache

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68765&edit=1 ID: 68765 Comment by: axel dot ml at warenform dot net Reported by: axel dot ml at warenform dot net Summary: Commands with @ must not be evaluated by opcache Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: opcache Operating System: Linux x86_64 PHP Version: 5.6.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I admit using an "@" here is misleading. But if you omit all "@"s the problem is still the same: The code behaves different, when turning opcache on. The seems to be a bug for me. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-07 15:58:08] leigh@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The @ operator is not a conditional construct. It prevents any error from being displayed, it does not prevent the statement from executing. Checking the constant with if (!defined(...)) is the correct way to handle this situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-07 12:01:12] axel dot ml at warenform dot net Description: ------------ With active opcache following problems occurs: If constants.php is called first the output is: 1 1 1 1 1 which is correct. If constants-include.php is called the output is: 4 which is also correct. If constants.php is called afterwards the output is: 1 1 1 4 1 which is wrong. The line is @define('SOME_CONSTANT', 4) is conditionally because of the "@" and must not be evaluated by opcache but on runtime. If the line is rewritten as: if (!defined('SOME_CONSTANT')) define('SOME_CONSTANT', 4); everything works as expected. Thank you for fixing this issue. Test script: --------------- FILE: constants-include.php @define('SOME_CONSTANT', 4); echo SOME_CONSTANT.'<br>'.PHP_EOL; FILE: constants.php define('SOME_CONSTANT', 1); echo SOME_CONSTANT.'<br>'.PHP_EOL; @define('SOME_CONSTANT', 2); echo SOME_CONSTANT.'<br>'.PHP_EOL; @define('SOME_CONSTANT', 3); echo SOME_CONSTANT.'<br>'.PHP_EOL; include('./constants-include.php'); echo SOME_CONSTANT.'<br>'.PHP_EOL; Expected result: ---------------- 1 1 1 1 1 Actual result: -------------- 1 1 1 4 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68765&edit=1
