Fix segfault: Remove per-thread php_module_startup calls

Qard · claude · Qard · commit 5e24ca872f30 · 2025-12-16T22:40:47.000+08:00
The crash was caused by calling php_module_startup() from multiple tokio worker threads concurrently. php_module_startup() is not thread-safe - it modifies global state including the memory allocator function pointers. The fix: - php_module_startup() is called ONCE on the main thread when Sapi is constructed (via startup callback) - Worker threads only call ext_php_rs_sapi_per_thread_init() via ThreadScope to set up thread-local storage (TSRM TLS) - Removed ModuleScope since it's not needed for per-thread init The crash manifested as EXC_BAD_ACCESS in _estrdup when the corrupted memory allocator function pointer table was dereferenced. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
