Hello l0t3k,

  first of all your question does not make any sense to me whatsoever.

Anyway looking at the code you seem to be using a c-level iterator
manually instead of using it inside foreach() construct.

The first thing i can see is that you use the iterator index while the
source code (zend_interface.h) says:
    ulong index; /* private to fe_reset/fe_fetch opcodes */
Unil now noone tried to emulate this stuff so i am not sure whether this
is correct or not. But one thing i can say is that your usage revealed
an error in the engien code. Index is incremented to early. Which is fixed
by now.

The second thing is that you did not use the dtor() handler so you have
a memory leak.

Otherwise i cannot see anything wrong with your iterator usage. And the
more i think over it you are probably right in using that index.

To try to answer what i think you want to know: What ever object you use.
If it implements Traversable or derived its zend_class_entry has a
get_iterator function that gets you access to an iteator struct and the
handler table. You should never touch the data member of that iterator
struct and the handlers are documented. In your case there is no need to
use handler invalidate_current().

hope this helps
