Attempt to use PHP extension function with SaxonC 11.2 EE and PHP 7.4 core dumps

Added by Martin Honnen almost 3 years ago

So I felt adventurous and looked for a complete example of an extension function for XSLT 3 written in PHP code, the documentation contains some snippets, the samples as well, but I couldn't find a complete working example.

Based on the documentation I produced a short sample that seems to be compiled fine but core dumps on execution:

PHP Code is

<?php
function f1($p1, $p2) {
  return $p2 * 2;
}

$saxon = new saxon\SaxonProcessor();

print('Using Saxon ' . $saxon->version());

$saxon->registerPHPFunctions('/usr/lib/php/20190902/saxon');

$transformer = $saxon->newXslt30Processor();

print('Created  XSLT30Processor');

$executable = $transformer->compileFromString('<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl" version="3.0" expand-text="yes" exclude-result-prefixes="#all"><xsl:output indent="yes"/><xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template"><root><xpath>{current-dateTime()}</xpath><php>{php:function("f1", ["p1", 2])}</php></root></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>');

print('Compiled stylesheet');

$result = $executable->callTemplateReturningValue();

print(result);

Output with PHP 7.4.25 is

I spiced the test case a bit up with print statements to see what is going on:

<?php
function f1($p1, $p2) {
  print('gettype($p1): ' . gettype($p1) . "\n");
  print('gettype($p2): ' . gettype($p2) . "\n");
  return $p2 * 2;
}

f1('foo', 2);

$saxon = new saxon\SaxonProcessor();

print("Using Saxon " . $saxon->version() . "\n");

$saxon->registerPHPFunctions('/usr/lib/php/20190902/saxon');

$transformer = $saxon->newXslt30Processor();

print("Created XSLT 3 Processor\n");

$executable = $transformer->compileFromString('<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl" version="3.0" expand-text="yes" exclude-result-prefixes="#all"><xsl:output indent="yes"/><xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template"><root><xpath>{current-dateTime()}</xpath><php>{php:function("f1", ["p1", 2])}</php></root></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>');

print("Compiled stylesheet\n");
print("Compilation errors: "  . $transformer->getErrorMessage() . "\n");

$result = $executable->callTemplateReturningValue();

print(result);

?>

but that only shows that the PHP function is called twice correctly and that both the direct PHP call as well as the attempt to call it from XSLT and Saxon pass in the same type of arguments:

gettype($p2): integer

So far the only PHP function I have managed to call from XSLT is one not taking any argument.

Sorry I currently still stuck away from home after a cancelled flight. But I will try to help with advice where possible.

This looks like a bug.

In the SaxonProcessor.h you can enable the DEBUG preprocessor directive and run the php from the commandl-line which may give clues to what is happening.

Also, please try running it with gdb from the command-line. Something like the following:

gdb php
handle SIG35 noprint nostop
run filename.php
bt

Please print the output.

Here is the gdb output, I have no clue what is means:

You will have time dealing with this once you manage to get a flight home as there is no urgency to this issue and as I myself will be away on a hospital "holiday"/check-up from Wednesday anyway.

I have also tried to set that DEBUG preprocessor directive and recompile/rebuild but while there is some debug output inserted I can't say it tells me anything; to make it more simple I used a simpler PHP function:

<?php
function f1($p1, $p2) {
  print('gettype($p1): ' . gettype($p1) . "\n");
  print('gettype($p2): ' . gettype($p2) . "\n");
  return $p1 + $p2;
}

print(f1(3, 2) . "\n");

$saxon = new saxon\SaxonProcessor();

print("Using Saxon " . $saxon->version() . "\n");

$saxon->registerPHPFunctions('/usr/lib/php/20190902/saxon');

$transformer = $saxon->newXslt30Processor();

print("Created XSLT 3 Processor\n");

$executable = $transformer->compileFromString('<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl" version="3.0" expand-text="yes" exclude-result-prefixes="#all"><xsl:output indent="yes"/><xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template"><root><xpath>{current-dateTime()}</xpath><php>{php:function("f1", [3, 2])}</php></root></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>');

print("Compiled stylesheet\n");
print("Compilation errors: "  . $transformer->getErrorMessage() . "\n");

$result = $executable->callTemplateReturningValue();

print(result);

?>

The output now is
