Bug #77216 [Dup]: recursive generator crash PHP

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77216&edit=1 ID: 77216 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: dams@php.net Summary: recursive generator crash PHP Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Reproducible crash Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 7.3.0RC6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: A bit late but > it should not crash but instead it should throw a memory_limit error, Only if PHP runs out of memory. With head recursion the stack might run out before memory does. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-28 23:08:19] nikic@php.net Closing as duplicate of bug #64196, which is our canonical recursion stack overflow bug. All of these have the same root cause, but I'm not aware of any work to address this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-28 23:07:08] spam2 at rhsoft dot net EVERY uncontrolled crash is a bug - it's that simple ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-28 23:05:02] cmb@php.net This is a stack overflow caused by infinite recursion of execute_ex(). I doubt that we can catch such issues without measurable performance impact. Also, Xdebug has xdebug.max_nesting_level[1] which should catch such issues during development. See also bug #69424. In my opinion, this is not a bug.

Similar to other bugs I have reported in the past ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-28 22:17:51] requinix@php.net That's just plain infinite recursion. Recursive generators work fine. https://3v4l.org/Hd0OE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
