Bug #74833 [Fbk]: Random crashes, seemingly related to DateTimeImmutable and mod_php

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74833&edit=1 ID: 74833 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: mike dot fellows at shaw dot ca Summary: Random crashes, seemingly related to DateTimeImmutable and mod_php Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit, MacOs, Linux PHP Version: 7.0.1 to 7.1.6 Assigned To: ab Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The repo linked contains at least two exts, pdo_sqlsrv and sqlsrv. Which one do you use? Also, which flavour, x64, x86, etc. These exts are on PECL, so some latest release could be built. Right now it looks like it's indeed the known issue already fixed in 7.2, so it would be great to have confirmed. For 7.1 - as long as it's mod_winnt + PHP, there's no sublime workaround :( Moving to FCGI might show some more stability. Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-01 18:06:32] mike dot fellows at shaw dot ca @nikic definitely not using opcache then as nothing was showing in php_info, and I have not enabled it. I can capture more backtraces if you change your minds, it is not a big deal to do. Are they any recommendations for avoiding this problem in 7.1? Or is the only option to use 7.2? For 7.2 The only extension I would need beyond the standard PHP ones is the Microsoft SQL Server driver for PHP: https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql No 7.2 support yet (https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/444). I can't imagine that much has changed between 7.1 to 7.2 though. I'll see about building it next week for 7.2 and see what happens. I'm not really in a jam with this yet, but I will need to have some kind of workaround ready in about 8-10 weeks - I think a 7.2 PHP beta would be fine. Right now this problem is just a (very minor) development headache. Thx again for your help with this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-01 16:47:58] ab@php.net Ah, i see i've overseen the backtraces already there. Yeah, the part like this AcXtrnal.dll!NS_FaultTolerantHeap::APIHook_RtlFreeHeap(void *,unsigned long,void *) Unknown ucrtbase.dll!free() Unknown php7ts.dll!zend_hash_reverse_apply(_zend_array * ht, int(*)(_zval_struct *) apply_func) Line 1603 C php7ts.dll!shutdown_executor() Line 376 C php7ts.dll!zend_deactivate() Line 1001 C php7ts.dll!php_request_shutdown(void * dummy) Line 1880 C php7apache2_4.dll!php_handler(request_rec * r) Line 725 C looks very much like the issue already fixed in 7.2. No further backtrace needed. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-01 16:44:10] ab@php.net @nikic, looks pretty much like the topic. TS SAPI, sporadic fails, very much like in many other bugs. @mike dot fellows at shaw dot ca which exact extension do you need to be present to test your code under 7.2? If it builds with 7.2, i can provide it so you can have the exact constellation. It'd be great also if you could provide a backtrace, even a minidump from WER, etc. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-01 08:54:24] nikic@php.net Opcache is not loaded by default, so if you did not explicitly enable the extension, you're not using opcache (though you can double check using e.g. phpinfo()). @ab: Can you please check whether this looks like a persistent string issue to you that will be resolved by 7.2? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-01 00:56:57] mike dot fellows at shaw dot ca Thanks for taking time to look and comment on this problem. The PHP_ZTS constant is set to 1 (so yes to ZTS build?). It is the thread safe windows build from php.net. I am not setting any opcache configuration items in PHP.ini, so if I understand the docs correctly that means I am getting opcache.enable = 1 by default? Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. So yes to ZTS and yes to opcache enabled (I think). My database driver (SQL server) does not support PHP 7.2 yet so I'm not sure if I can test 7.2 or not. I will try. Will disabling opcache with 7.1 fix the problem as well? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
