PHP_INT_MAX as Array Key causes an Exception

PHP_INT_MAX as Array Key causes an Exception

Postby dulfe » November 1st, 2013, 5:11 pm

Hello,

I found a glitch when using Array with a maximum int key. If I try to use PHP_INT_MAX as key value, it produces an "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" exception.

Simple test case:

Code: Select all
var_dump(PHP_INT_MAX);
$xxx[PHP_INT_MAX] = 'XXX';
var_dump($xxx);


That code will produce this exception:

Code: Select all
Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
  Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

 Exception Details: System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

Source Error:



Line 17: var_dump(PHP_INT_MAX);
Line 18:
Line 19: $xxx[PHP_INT_MAX] = 'XXX';
Line 20:
Line 21: var_dump($xxx);

If I change the index to:

Code: Select all
var_dump(PHP_INT_MAX);
$xxx[PHP_INT_MAX - 1] = 'XXX';
var_dump($xxx);


It will work.

For code that I own, it is easy to fix, but for 3rd party libs or plugins it will case headaches!

Any ideas how to fix that?...

Thank you.

Hi,


thanks for noticing. This is caused by internal implementation of PHP arrays. We'll have to check how it behaves in legacy PHP, since next call
Code: Select all
$xxx[] = something;
should definitely fail.

Ok, I can see, PHP can add elements up to MAX_INT (or MAX_LONG), and every next added element is added at index MAX_INT. Phalanger fails, since it seamed as a "more" correct behaviour.

We'll take a look on possible solution for that.

Thanks!
