Summary0001329: While printing out a stack with and function parameters, XDebug reads uninitialized zvals or free()d memory
DescriptionThis happens when the only zend_extension is xdebug.so, and for php versions 7.0.8 and 7.0.9. Other extensions are disabled. (php < 7.0.8 was not tested)

In the provided test case, the stack trace was printed because of a php notice. I've observed a similar error when an exception was being thrown (or rethrown?), will attempt to reproduce it if requested.

I get errors such as segmentation faults, valgrind errors, and attempts to allocate strings which are too large.

I managed to reproduce this in a dockerfile running centos 6.6, though I don't think it's OS specific.

Removing the xdebug.collect_params config from the php.ini removed any valgrind errors.
Steps To ReproduceThe steps to reproduce are found in https://github.com/TysonAndre-ContinuousIntegration/xdebug_segfault , which was uploaded here.

I also see this error when xdebug.collect_params = 1 (along with other errors)

I thought it might have been related to call_user_func*, but it happened even without the dynamic method name. A smaller version of the test case is test6.php

I also tried test6.php with the latest commit on github, and still got errors ( https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/commit/bcb45acb6c828ccf9e217a1f58db92658c6650cb )

I'm looking at this, and also seeing the crash. Albeit in a different way. If you could work on continuing making the test case smaller, that'd be a great help.

 Contents of test8.php after minimization between the quotes:

```
<?php

class client {
    public function __call($method, $params) {
        echo $this->_url;
    }
}

function main($a) {
    $service = new client();

    list($aaaa) = $service->callSomeMagicMethod_1($xxxxxxx);
}
main(true);
```

php.ini is the same as my other examples:

```
[PHP]
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
display_errors = On
log_errors = On
report_memleaks = On
extension_dir="/usr/local/lib/php/20151012-debug"

zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/php/20151012-debug/xdebug.so"

xdebug.collect_params=3
xdebug.remote_enable=1
```

Also, did you want the ./configure script options to be "smaller" (And if so, what you call a standard config / compiler flags)?

No, I'm fine. Thanks. The test cases I have now are good enough.

I have an inkling that https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/commit/90efb3aada7b0423a86462d10d6758ca3c384e75 might have fixed this - would you mind trying with the latest Git version?

 It seems like it's fixed. (Will reopen this if the code the examples were derived from encounters different bugs)

I ran all 4 tests cases in https://github.com/TysonAndre-ContinuousIntegration/xdebug_segfault again with php 7.0.14. The crashes are fixed in the current xdebug master branch (bb535ed, which includes 90efb3aa)

The issue description could be amended to include 7.0.5-7.0.14 and xdebug 2.4.0-2.5.0 (I was able to reproduce the crashes/allocator error with xdebug 2.5.0 and php 7.0.14. There were no errors with xdebug master(2.6-dev?) and php 7.0.14)

Okay, let me close this as fixed then. Please create a *new* issue if you find further crashes etc.
