## #27886 — Gregory Beaver — 2007-02-07T17:10:58+00:00

Hi,

The last patch version still allowed:

<?php
define('__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__', 1);
?>

which would break any __HALT_COMPILER();

Interestingly enough, the current implementation makes this script a
fatal error:

<?php
define('__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__', 1);
__HALT_COMPILER();
?>

But not at the first define, instead it does at the __HALT_COMPILER();. 
Once again a bug, as it should instead give a notice that
__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ is already defined at the userspace `define()`.
