Description:
------------
When preg_match (or another preg_*function) has been called before pcntl_fork(), and then, called
again in the child process, the child process stops at the preg_match, and just hangs.
No error, no crash.
This was tested on OSX, and it couldn't be replicated on Debian. This may be specific to OSX.
It is reproductible with PHP 7.3.7. It works on 7.2, 7.1.
It may be related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77260
Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Uncomment the following to freeze child process
// preg_match('/abc/', 'abcde', $r);
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid === 0) {
print "Child start\n";
preg_match('/abc/', 'abcde', $r);
print_r($r);
print "End child\n";
exit(0);
} else {
print "Main start\n";
sleep(3);
print "End Main\n";
exit(0);
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Main start
Child start
Array
(
[0] => abc
)
End child
End Main
Actual result:
--------------
Main start
Child start
End Main
