As of PHP 8.2.0, `zend_module_entry` structures are no longer copied, so when a module is permanently loaded, and users try to dynamically load that module again, the structure is corrupted[1], causing a segfault on shutdown. We catch that by checking whether any dynamically loaded module is already loaded, and bailing out in that case without modifying the `zend_module_entry` structure. [1] <php#9589 (comment)>

Note that this may be applied with or without also applying PR #9648; while that duplicates a bit of code in the former case (where it is not strictly necessary), it still seems to be good practice to catch this condition early, and to fail fast. /cc @arnaud-lb, @morrisonlevi |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's probably sensible to add a comment regarding the usage of dl_test; actually, it doesn't matter which extension we use for the test, but it is mandatory that it is a shared module; this is always given for dl_test.
