Summary: References passed to closures as variables corrupt
original passed variable
Status: Verified
Type: Bug
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: *
PHP Version: 5.3, 6
New Comment:
I feel that this is probably the same problem:
$array = array(1,4,2,3);
usort($array, function($a,$b) use ($array) {
return $a > $b ? 1 : -1;
});
Result is that $array is not changed by the usort function.

The problem is the data pointer from the hash apply being overwritten in
zval_copy_static_var() (Zend/zend_closures.c).
The following patch works for me:

Description:
------------
See the reproduce code. I have a variable $ref, which is a reference to
another variable. I am passing $ref to closure as use() by value, but,
this kind of passing corrupts $ref variable after definition of closure
and $ref becomes no longer reference, but points directly to copied data
of $source variable, which $ref was previously referring to. However, if
i define closure the following way:
$closure =function() use( &$ref) {// note pass-by-reference
echo $ref;
};
the $ref does not loose it's state.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$source ='Dmitry';
$ref =&$source;
$closure =function() use( $ref) {
echo $ref;
};
$ref ='Dmitry2';
echo $ref ."\n";
echo $source ."\n";
Expected result:
----------------
Dmitry2
Dmitry2
Actual result:
--------------
Dmitry2
Dmitry
