#22361 [Opn->WFx]: Endless loop causes windows to reboot

ID: 22361 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: max at tvattomaten dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: windows xp, sp1 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: What happens is a stack overflow due to an unterminated loop. PHP has no internal stack protection so it crashes. As to why windows crashes & reboots that's already an MS bug and not a PHP problem. In a properly working OS, this would only result in a PHP crash.

I know that there is something fishy with my xp but this is the only time it actually reboots. That's why I still think it may be an issue that may be interesting to fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-21 14:54:17] php at codewhore dot org Check your hardware for stability. PHP cannot possibly cause windows to reboot without either a major kernel bug in windows or faulty hardware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-21 13:50:22] max at tvattomaten dot com Hi! I've noticed that this buggy code causes a windows xp crash and reboot: ******* class A { var Object; function A(){ $this->Object = new B(); } } class B { var Object; function B(){ $this->Object = new A(); } } **** and then running: $myObject = new B(); *********************** I figure that first of all this should not result in that windows reboots. Second I wouldn't mind if with the notices turned on it should report a notice for this error (I can't be the only one that's done this). At least there should be such a check for the constructor since it seems that I can't learn from my previous mistakes :-D Thanks for great software! //Max Gordon PS. I'm running latest version of apache 2 DS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22361&edit=1
