For Windows, when it is USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 , I tried to see overflows rather than leaks, with MS Application verifier and with MS CRT debug flags ( particularly _CRTDBG_CHECK_ALWAYS_DF ) , however I am not getting any meaningful output so that is why I wanted to ask for the Zend heap verifier here.

( I am using PHP 7.0.1 master branch code and targeting non-ZTS 32 bit PHP7 on Windows Server 2012 R2 ) And currently as I did mechanical bits of porting ( compilation issues, getting functionality working mostly followed https://wiki.php.net/phpng-upgrading<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.php.net_phpng-2Dupgrading&d=AwMFaQ&c=4ZIZThykDLcoWk-GVjSLm9hvvvzvGv0FLoWSRuCSs5Q&r=WNZrBw1Z15H_TIydi6wrAnQBZ6J3iZSKUpRWgdkYc54&m=QjlP5AZH0vV9At-8UrG5qfuPXdX_iG_9e9areeOSaPQ&s=-9f-gkPhSSb87ZS7fwXBnOvB3fx2ZilJV-5DuVrzOCg&e=> ) , my extension is only crash-free if I run it with USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0. However with USE_ZEND_ALLOC=1 , I am getting crashes inside zend_mm_alloc_small. As checked with Windbg : ... if (EXPECTED(heap->free_slot[bin_num] != NULL) ) { zend_mm_free_slot *p = heap->free_slot[bin_num]; if ( p->next_free_slot != NULL ) Above , p->next_free_slot is not readable. I believe , currently I am getting the Zend heap corrupt. I am running a test script and I tried disabling many things ,and enabling one by one to have an idea, from the looks of it , I am getting this issue around a zend_register_resource call but to me that one looks legitimate so I can`t easily pinpoint where the Zend heap gets corrupt. Diffrently from pre-PHP7 where we had full_mem_check , now I can see ZEND_MM_CHECK is placed in memory manager functions. I wanted to ask if there is any chance if we can have a heap integrity checker function , or what would you advise regarding to track down the places in our code corrupting the Zend MM ? I am not familar with windows, but if it can be run in linux you could try with "USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 valgrind --tool=memcheck " not sure if there is similar tool on windows thanks Regards, Akin Ocal ________________________________ This e-mail is for the sole use of the intended recipient and contains information that may be privileged and/or confidential.
