Subject: issue in copying the hash table(Reposted third time)
From: kameshj@fastmail.fm (Kamesh Jayachandran)

Hi All,
Sorry to repost for the third time. 
I want the clarification regarding copying the global_class_table to
thread specific compiler_globals->class_table in compiler_globals_ctor
in Zend/zend.c.

According to me memcpy should copy 'whatever source points to' to
'destination'.
Our class_table hashtable structure looks like this,
char *key;
zend_class_entry** value;
So memcpy should copy only whatever (zend_class_entry**) points to which
is semantically wrong good candidate for Segmentation fault.

No way memcpy can do double dereferencing for this case.

Somehow in Linux when i compile it with maintainer-zts-mode memcpy
copies the data fine.
I verified all the internal classes. Thread specific class_table is in
sink with the global_class_table.


Please clarify.

Thanks in Advance


With regards
