No user input values involved, though. See https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/d3ed75b9ebc998b8cf325e0e3ab954bd10989918/tests/classes/array_conversion_keys.phpt for the tests inside php-src: the inverse cast is not covered by tests, though, as there is really little to no use-case for an stdClass with private or protected properties, unless the only purpose is casting it back into an array.
