What happens if you have a non-stringable object as an option?

In the sense that it will throw and exit out at the check after the loop

Cool that's the thing I was wondering about.

convert_to_string(entry);
lcname = zend_string_tolower(Z_STR_P(entry));
/* Note: cannot use zval_get_tmp_string() here as we need to keep it in class_hash for longer than this loop. */
zend_string *str = zval_get_string(entry);

Any reason for not using the try version of this API?

Possible, but not necessary, as we will exit at the exception check a bit later.

Looks correct to me otherwise

ZEND_HASH_FOREACH_VAL(Z_ARRVAL_P(classes), entry) {
convert_to_string(entry);
lcname = zend_string_tolower(Z_STR_P(entry));
/* Note: cannot use zval_get_tmp_string() here as we need to keep it in class_hash for longer than this loop. */

Is this comment accurate? zend_tmp_string_release() uses zend_string_release_ex() (i.e. not zend_string_free()), so it seems the allocation can still survive the loop. But it doesn't seem better, so maybe just remove the comment if my assuption is correct.

Yeah my bad, you're right. I originally had a solution with the tmp string API (first commit). What I missed is that we actually take a strong reference via zend_string_tolower, so we can use that API. I'll revert my last commit and merge after CI passes

This reverts commit 332581e.
