These can return NULL on OOM. And for blobs, it can return NULL for empty blobs (so *no* failure, just an edge case). Passing NULL to memcpy is UB, so we have to check for a NULL pointer there to avoid UB.

that falls into "defensive programming" IMHO. How likely ? not sure it belongs to PHP-8.4 ; if Saki says otherwise I won't object. |

At least the empty blob case should be easily hittable in production, which can cause UB in the memcpy path when the string initializes. The OOM checks are defensive. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was a bit on the fence with some subtle changes here and there but I do not object for 8.4

I can also split this PR into 2: one for the empty blob; and one for the OOM checks. |
