So, what is the final conclusion on this one? Are we at a combination
of Matt's and Dmitry's patches here?
I think we definitely need to fix this even in the 5.2 branch and get it
back to 5.1.x and earlier behavior. I consider it a bug that:
$arr[3500000000] = 'blah';
print_r($arr);
results in:
[-2147483648] => blah
I didn't think to ask at the time, but what do you think the result should
be in your example...?
if someone has written brand new 5.2-specific code that relies on this
weird behavior, then we will just have to bite the bullet and break that
code. It is way more likely that people are relying on the earlier
behavior and will end up with subtle problems in 5.2. I just had
someone at Yahoo get bitten by this when they upgraded from 5.1.x to
5.2.x.
