Bug #74745 [NEW]: Incorrect ReflectionFunction information for array_multisort

From: tandre at themeetgroup dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Incorrect ReflectionFunction information for array_multisort Description: ------------ ReflectionFunction incorrectly states that $sort_order and $array1_sort_flags are passed by reference, not by value. This doesn't make sense, and is inconsistent with the documentation at https://secure.php.net/array_multisort See https://3v4l.org/sZcuu Test script: --------------- <?php $functionName = 'array_multisort'; printf("Params of %s:\n", $functionName); foreach ((new ReflectionFunction($functionName))->getParameters() as $param) { printf("Param \$%s: isPassedByReference=%s, isOptional=%s, isVariadic=%s\n", $param->getName(), var_export($param->isPassedByReference(), true), var_export($param->isOptional(), true), var_export($param->isVariadic(), true)); } Expected result: ---------------- ... otherwise unchanged Param $sort_order: isPassedByReference=false, isOptional=true, isVariadic=false Param $sort_flags: isPassedByReference=false, isOptional=true, isVariadic=false ... otherwise unchanged Actual result: -------------- Params of array_multisort: Param $arr1: isPassedByReference=true, isOptional=false, isVariadic=false Param $sort_order: isPassedByReference=true, isOptional=true, isVariadic=false Param $sort_flags: isPassedByReference=true, isOptional=true, isVariadic=false Param $arr2: isPassedByReference=true, isOptional=true, isVariadic=true -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74745&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74745&r=mysqlcfg
