Internal functions not returning Output Parameters.

STATUS: Closed (See comments).

The following problem only occurs when the code is executed from a MSA DLL.
When the code is executed from a PHP file included from the MSA, the problem doesn't occur.

When executing:

Code: Select all

   proc_open($cmd, $descriptor, $pipes);


$pipes isn't returning anything (count($pipes) returns 0 and is_array($pipes) is false).

When adding debug info in Open()...

Code: Select all

      [ImplementsFunction("proc_open")]
      public static PhpResource Open(string command, PhpArray descriptorSpec, out PhpArray pipes)
      {
         // return Open(command, descriptorSpec, out pipes, null, null, null);

            PhpResource tmp = Open(command, descriptorSpec, out pipes, null, null, null);
            Console.WriteLine("command: " + command);
            Console.WriteLine("pipes count: " + pipes.Count);
            return tmp;
      }


...the "pipes" array shows to have elements.

The same code was working in Phalanger 2.1.

Note that if you change the code for:

Code: Select all

      public static PhpResource Open(string command, PhpArray descriptorSpec, out PhpArray pipes)
      {
            pipes = new PhpArray();
            pipes.Add(new PhpString("ok"));
            return null;


...$pipes is still empty.

I'm testing on:
Phalanger 3 - SVN 2012-02-15
Mono 2.10.8 and 2.10.9.

Problem solved!

phpc was generating the MSA scripts using machine.conf referencing old 2.1.0.0 assemblies.

IMO, Phalanger should do some compatibility checkings to save debuging hours.

Ah, good you solved it so quick

Phalanger just references anything you give him. There might be cases somebody would like to reference older version of itself etc. In C# you can do the same, and mostly it causes the same issues.
