Bug #78433 [NEW]: I found nowhere possibility to unpack reference expected variables to child fn

From: 6562680 at gmail dot com Operating system: Win10 PHP version: 7.2.21 Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:I found nowhere possibility to unpack reference expected variables to child fn Description: ------------ When i want to write facade for function that works by reference i should fully copy function signature into facade, otherwise when unpacking facade loses all references or something. It means i cant decorate or make facade with arguments unpacking, because i'll lost all references on these bridge. Test script: --------------- // declare function append(array &$ref) { $ref[] = 1; } Class Lib { public static function __callStatic($method, $arguments) { // just ignore $method for example... return append(...$arguments); // could be call_user_func('append', ...$arguments); // could be call_user_func_array('append', $arguments); // even could be call_user_func([ SomeOtherClass::class, 'append' ], ...$arguments); } } // run $arr = [1]; append($arr); var_dump($arr); // [1,1] // OK! Lib::neverMind($arr); var_dump($arr); // [1,1] // WTF? It should unpack args by references and then copy-on-write! Seems copy-on-write triggered on unpacking Expected result: ---------------- Saving references when passing arguments to child function Take care about magic __call, __callStatic and so on where we have 2nd parameter with arguments (possible packing) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78433&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78433&r=mysqlcfg
