ext-recursionguard's Introduction

ext-recursionguard

CI

Lightweight PHP extension to hard-cap function call depth.

Features

This extension will throw an Error if the function call stack reaches a depth of 256 calls. This is currently non-configurable, but usable for most cases.

Configuration

  • recursionguard.enabled (default 1): Controls whether the extension will guard for recursions even when loaded (useful for static builds).

Motivation

Recursion errors can be difficult to debug because they cause PHP to crash without any stack trace when something overrides zend_execute_ex. Therefore, it's desirable to have this barf at a hard limit instead of segfaulting without apparent reason.

However, the only way to do this before now was the xdebug extension, which causes huge performance degradation and as such is unsuitable for production. This extension keeps to the point, causing a hit of only 10% extra function call overhead, versus xdebug's 2000+% overhead. This additional overhead becomes insignificant outside of synthetic benchmarks.

ext-recursionguard's Issues

Does not understand fibers

Stack depth needs to be tracked per fiber. If an application uses many fibers and doesn't return to previous contexts to unwind the stack, the extension will incorrectly count up the stack depth until it (erroneously) overflows.

I'm not sure what the proper solution is for this yet.

Explore using new Observer API on PHP 8.0

Current implementation will cause JIT to be disabled on PHP 8.0, because OPcache doesn't like it when something overrides zend_execute_ex.

PHP 8.0 introduces a new Observer API which allows tracing enter/exit of functions without smashing the stack, and more importantly won't cause JIT to be disabled.

Add an INI entry to enable/disable the extension

This will permit the extension to be disabled when statically compiled.
It could also be considered to implement an INI-controlled max stack depth provided that the performance hit from doing so is not too large.
