It makes my Apache crash. It happens when : - Using simplexml_load_file() - Using a function, where the SimpleXML arg is "referenced" It doesn't happen when I don't reference the arg or if I use simplexml_load_string(). See the test script for example. I'm testing on snap "php-master-ts-windows-vc14-x86-r531fa70" (can't test on a more recent snap, Apache crashes on service startup), with Apache/2.4.12 (Win32) Test script: --------------- ==segfault.xml== <Menu> <Node title=""> </Node> </Menu> ==PHP script== <?php $xml = simplexml_load_file('segfault.xml'); function test(&$xml) { var_dump($xml); } test($xml->Node); Expected result: ---------------- Dump of the SimpleXML object Actual result: -------------- Crash ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70288&edit=1
