[jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-3984) PHP7 extenstion cause segfault

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3984?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Fei Dong updated THRIFT-3984:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
I cant offer a script to reproduce segfault because it  not happens everytime. 

PHP7 extension use ZVAL_STR to convert zend_string to zval struct,and later use zval_dtor try to free it.

https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/php/src/ext/thrift_protocol/php_thrift_protocol7.cpp#L825

The method_name parameter is pass from PHP script,  and zval_dtor decrement the gc reference count, thus would free the zend_string object but it is still referenced in the script.

I  changed  ZVAL_STR to ZVAL_STR_COPY, which will add reference count by 1 to the zend_string object ,  apply this patch in our production environment and segfault never happen again

Another place use ZVAL_STR is [here|https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/php/src/ext/thrift_protocol/php_thrift_protocol7.cpp#L668]. Both this two place need to be fixed
