[FFI] Segfault/memory leak on incorrect use of FFI definitions

Description

The following code:

<?php

class MyClass
{
    public static function do(): void
    {
        $ffi = FFI::cdef("struct struct1{int x;};struct struct2{int y;};void takesStruct1(struct struct1*);", __DIR__ . "/a.out");
        $struct2 = $ffi->new("struct struct2");
        $ffi->takesStruct1(FFI::addr($struct2));
    }
}

MyClass::do();

With the following C source for a.out (compile with cc -shared test.c):

#include <stdio.h>
struct struct1{int x; int y;};
struct struct2{int x;};
void takesStruct1(struct struct1*){printf("I took a struct1!");}

Resulted in this output:

php: /home/iggyvolz/php-src/ext/ffi/ffi.c:1631: zend_ffi_ctype_name: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted

With the following gdb backtrace:

But when I run with this (should-be-equivalent) PHP code:

<?php
$ffi = FFI::cdef("struct struct1{int x;};struct struct2{int y;};void takesStruct1(struct struct1*);", __DIR__ . "/a.out");
$struct2 = $ffi->new("struct struct2");
$ffi->takesStruct1(FFI::addr($struct2));

I receive the correct output:

Fatal error: Uncaught FFI\Exception: Passing incompatible argument 1 of C function 'takesStruct1', expecting 'struct struct1*', found 'struct struct2*' in /home/iggyvolz/phpwayland/testsegfault.php:17
Stack trace:

#1 {main}
  thrown in /home/iggyvolz/phpwayland/testsegfault.php on line 17

While debugging this issue, I also found a similar-seeming issue with the following class:

<?php
FFI::cdef("void FAKE_FUNCTION();");

Returns a memory leak in the debug build of PHP:

Fatal error: Uncaught FFI\Exception: Failed resolving C function 'FAKE_FUNCTION' in /home/iggyvolz/phpwayland/testmemleak.php:2

=== Total 5 memory leaks detected ===

Not sure whether this is a different bug or just the same underlying issue manifesting differently, but they feel similar enough that my suspicion is the latter (I can split this into a separate issue if requested).

PHP Version

PHP 8.3.0

Operating System

Debian 12

Commencez par reproduire l’appel FFI basé sur une classe et le cas FAKE_FUNCTION non résolu dans une build de débogage de PHP 8.3. Inspectez ext/ffi/ffi.c autour de zend_ffi_ctype_name à la ligne 1631 ainsi que les emplacements de fuite signalés aux lignes 6440, 6559 et 6628. Le travail est terminé lorsque l’argument Struct incompatible lève l’exception FFI normale sans assertion et que la résolution échouée de la fonction ne laisse aucune fuite mémoire dans la build de débogage.
