Description:
------------
If we define a C callback handler in PHP and this handler should return a pointer (not a simple
value like int, float, etc), then FFI doesn't check if correct value was returned or not. For
example when we throw our custom exception within callback body.
This typically results in exception from FFI: Incompatible types when assigning to type 'struct
some_native_type*' from PHP 'unknown'
Exception is thrown because there is no check for Z_TYPE(retval) != IS_UNDEF inside FFI's
function zend_ffi_callback_trampoline before call to zend_ffi_zval_to_cdata(ret, ret_type,
&retval)
Expected result:
----------------
Exception is thrown within callback and not from FFI itself about missing type conversion
Actual result:
--------------
Incompatible types when assigning to type 'struct some_native_type*' from PHP
'unknown'
