Use GDB to debug PHP code and solve the problem of infinite loop of PHP code. gdbphp

Recently, when helping colleagues solve Swoole Server problems, I found that 1 worker process has been in R state. , and the CPU consumption is very high. The preliminary conclusion is that an infinite loop occurs in the PHP code.

The following code shows how to solve the PHP infinite loop problem.

Copy code The code is as follows:
#dead_loop.php
$array = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++)
{
$array[] = $i;
}
include __DIR__."/include.php";
#include.php
while(1)
{
usleep(10);
$keys = array_flip($array);
$index = array_search(rand(1500, 9999), $array);
$str = str_repeat('A', $index);
$strb = test($index, $str);
}
function test($index, $str)
{
Return str_replace('A', 'B', $str);
}

Get the process ID and status through ps aux as follows, use gdb -p process ptrace tracking, and get the call stack through the bt command

Copy code The code is as follows:

After executing gdb, the endless loop process will change to T status, indicating that it is Trace. This is exclusive, so you can no longer use strace/gdb or other ptrace tools to debug this process. Additionally this process will interrupt execution. After gdb enters c, the program continues to run downward. Then press ctrl+c again to interrupt the program. View the call stack of the process through the bt command.

复制代码 代码如下:
(gdb) bt

两次的BT信息不一样，这是因为程序在不同的位置中断。看到execute (oparray=0x21d58b0) 这一行，这里就是PHP执行oparray的入口了。gdb下输入f 6，(通过调用栈编号可得)。

复制代码 代码如下:
(gdb) f 6
