#37445 [Asn]: Reproducible segfault
ID: 37445 User updated by: dhrubab at gmail dot com Reported By: dhrubab at gmail dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: PDO related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.1.4 Assigned To: wez New Comment: A note to say I'm using latest php (5.1.4), mysql (5.0.21), pecl-pdo (1.0.3) and pecl-pdo-mysql (1.0.2). The example code relies on mysql5 default tables being there. Previous Comments: [2006-05-15 10:01:57] dhrubab at gmail dot com Description: The provided code causes a segfault.

Our application is segfaulting left, right and centre and I am trying to narrow down other test cases that result in segfaults. The main point is that PHP or PDO whichever is the culprit is not giving error messages or exceptions as it should when there's something wrong and instead segfaulting. When you use a method name that doesn't exist or a class constant that doesn't exist or when you violate allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off then a segfault occurs. This has been reproduced on three machines with three different linux distributions. Reproduce code: --- The source code is below. http://www.dhruba.net/files/segfault.php Expected result: It should give me an error about passing a string by reference in bindParam(). Actual result: -- It segfaults. Backtrace is below. sepoy ~ # gdb /usr/sbin/apache2 GNU gdb 6.4 Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
