Bug #71073 [Opn->Nab]: Foreach behaviour changes allow for infinite loops

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71073&edit=1 ID: 71073 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: ljsteadman at gmail dot com Summary: Foreach behaviour changes allow for infinite loops -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Performance problem Operating System: Any PHP Version: 7.0.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Foreach could always produce infinite loops. Both through iterators (InfiniteIterator), but also for arrays. The modifications you had to do were only different previously. If you don't want an infinite loop, don't grow your array infinitely... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-09 09:42:57] ljsteadman at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The latest behaviour changes to foreach means that if an element is pushed onto the array during iteration with a unique key, it will infinite loop. Test script: --------------- https://3v4l.org/ATFK9 Expected result: ---------------- foreach shouldn't produce a infinite loop. Actual result: -------------- foreach continues to iterate until it runs out of memory, thus producing an infinite loop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71073&edit=1
