Note Submitter: thomas at gielfeldt dot dk ---- Be careful when caching the iterator AND supplying the iterator with a back reference to the IteratorAggregate implementor. This can cause a potential memory leak. <?php class MyClass implements IteratorAggregate { public $data; protected $iterator; public function getIterator() { // This is the culprit. Combined with the passing of $this, // neither this object nor the iterator will be destroyed until // php has finished execution and cleans up. return $this->iterator ? $this->iterator : $this->iterator = new MyIterator($this); } public function __construct($data) { print "CONSTRUCTING MyClass!\n"; $this->data = $data; } public function __destruct() { print "DESTROYING MyClass!\n"; } } class MyIterator implements Iterator { protected $obj; public function __construct($obj) { print "CONSTRUCTING MyIterator!\n"; $this->obj = $obj; } public function current() { return current($this->obj->data); } public function key() { return key($this->obj->data); } public function next() { return next($this->obj->data); } public function rewind() { return reset($this->obj->data); } public function valid() { return key($this->obj->data) !== NULL; } public function __destruct() { print "DESTROYING MyIterator!\n"; } } function test1() { $a = new MyClass(array(1, 2, 3, 4)); foreach ($a as $k => $v) { print "$k => $v\n"; } print "Iteration done!\n"; } test1(); print "test1 done\n"; ?> Expected result -------------------- CONSTRUCTING MyClass! CONSTRUCTING MyIterator! 0 => 1 1 => 2 2 => 3 3 => 4 DESTROYING MyIterator! Iteration done! DESTROYING MyClass! test1 done Actual result -------------------- CONSTRUCTING MyClass! CONSTRUCTING MyIterator! 0 => 1 1 => 2 2 => 3 3 => 4 Iteration done! test1 done DESTROYING MyClass! DESTROYING MyIterator!
