Crash with PHP 8.3 nightly

[dunglas]

Description

For a few days, the FrankenPHP test suite crashes when using libphp 8.3 ZTS provided by shivammathur/setup-php.

Here is a backtrace:

Tests are still green with PHP 8.2. They were green with 9717e9f but fail now.

PHP Version

PHP 8.3 nightly

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

I don't see any interesting changes. Can you try with debug symbols, and potentially ASAN? ASAN should catch the invalid free.

[dunglas]

@iluuu1994 debug symbols were enabled for this stack trace. Do you have an idea of how to enable ASAN for shivammathur/setup-php?

[iluuu1994]

@dunglas I'm not familiar with shivammathur/setup-php, so unfortunately I cannot help there. Essentially what you need is --enable-address-sanitizer, and CFLAGS="-DZEND_TRACK_ARENA_ALLOC" if you can. The application should then be run using the USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 env variable.

[iluuu1994]

debug symbols were enabled for this stack trace

Where/how did you obtain libphp.so? From your distribution? Edit: Ah probably shivammathur/setup-php then I guess. So you're enabling the debug: true option? ?? () from /lib/libphp.so does not look like the symbols are available.

[dunglas]

Yes, the .so is coming from shivammathur/setup-php, and debug is set to true.

I created a test pipeline if you want to reproduce:

php/frankenphp#306

1. Connect to the GHA container by copying the ssh line printed in the tests (8.3) check
2. Run go test -c -ldflags=-w
3. You can use GDB on the generated binary: gdb --args ./frankenphp.test

Edit: indeed, debug symbols aren't included while they should: shivammathur/setup-php#784
