Hangs forever with HHVM about docopt.php HOT 15 CLOSED

Yikes. Thanks heaps for reporting. I'll look in to this over the next few days.

from docopt.php.

thnx, docopt is really great!

from docopt.php.

I've tried to run the tests using hhvm and they all pass. Can you please submit a script that replicates the problem?

from docopt.php.

Sure.

#!/usr/bin/env hhvm
<?php //app

include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$doc = <<<DOC
App.

Usage:
  app (-h | --help)
  app --version
DOC;

$args = (new \Docopt\Handler(['version'=>'App 0.1']))->handle($doc);

Then run hhmv app. This seems to be enough to hang and fry a computer with HipHop VM 2.4.0 (rel). Only happens with HHVM. Am I doing something wrong?

from docopt.php.

Am I doing something wrong?

This definitely merits further testing on my part - even if you were doing something wrong - and at first glance it doesn't look at all like you are - docopt's failure mode should never be to hang and/or fry any computers!

You've given me enough information to debug for now, so I'll see what I can find and get back to you. Thanks again for your help!

Hi, how should I run the tests? :)

from docopt.php.

On the develop branch, you need to run the following:

git submodule update --init
composer install
php test.php

This will run the PHP version's tests as well as the Python version's language agnostic tests.

Are you running on the master branch or the develop branch?

from docopt.php.

I wast on master. Switched to develop and HHVM still hangs... wondering why.

It hangs exactly here, when handling this docopt spec.

from docopt.php.

I've tried again using exactly those files, once again I can't reproduce. Sorry! This one's a bit of a doozy. What version of HHVM?

Ok, to be honest I don't think it's a problem with docopt anymore. Don't waste your time, I'll build the bleeding edge HHVM from source (this will take some minutes ☕) and give you feedback.

from docopt.php.

Ok, it works as expected with HHVM from master! Thank you for the support.

from docopt.php.

Oh phew, glad to hear it's working for you now. I'd still like to see if there's something we can identify with it, maybe stick a caveat in the README if I can't find what's causing the hang. This could well bite someone else in the future. Do you know what the version was that exhibited the problem?

from docopt.php.

Problem happened with HHVM 2.4.0, it's the current version for most package managers. Anyway, the minor LTS version of HHVM is 3.3 so most people will be using LTS, this won't be a big deal.

from docopt.php.

Do you think a README note will be enough?

Docopt is tested with PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6, and whichever version of HHVM Travis decides to use today.

from docopt.php.

...and centuries later... #13

It's nice to note this on README but we could add HHVM LTS as a composer platform package too :)
