 New Comment:

The fact that worked before was probably accidental. Changing any data structure while iterating
over it, will produce this sort of errors. That's not just SPL or PHP, but happens in any
programming language, and it's disallowed by design in most of the times.

Your specific bug can be fixed, probably, but you should avoid that sort of code anyway. If you get
any kind of reasonable result from doing this, always consider it a hack, or accidental. Unless you
are actually iterating over a copy (like PHP arrays) or using something like ->filter()
array_filter() functions.

Description:
------------
Breaking change on SplStack iterator.
If we pop from the stack, the stack become invalid for the last iteration.
This code was working with php 7.2.x, but is broken with 7.3.x and 7.4.x

Can be fixed by adding "$stack->rewind();" after "$stack->next();"

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$stack = new \SplStack();
$stack->push(1);
$stack->push(2);
$stack->rewind();
while ($stack->valid()) {
    $value = $stack->pop();
    var_dump($value);
    $stack->next();
}

Expected result:
----------------
int(2)
int(1)

Actual result:
--------------
int(2)
