ext-ds Vector/Map not supported by the following filters: slice, first, last (infinite loop)

[josephLaurent]

We use ext-ds object in twig files and the slice/first or last filters get stuck when using it on Vector or Map. Exemple: {% set result = myVector|last %} This is due to the following while loop in the twig_slice function (https://github.com/twigphp/Twig/blob/3.x/src/Extension/CoreExtension.php#L651):

while ($item instanceof \IteratorAggregate) {
      $item = $item->getIterator();
}

And because $item->getIterator() return a Vector which implement \IteratorAggregate.

I don't know if it can be fixed ? Thank you in advance for your help

Is Vector a traversable?

The last filter returns the last "element" of a sequence, a mapping, or a string [...] It also works with objects implementing the Traversable

[josephLaurent]

Yes Vector and Map are both traversable and they also implement the \IteratorAggregate interface which end up in the following infinite loop

while ($item instanceof \IteratorAggregate) { $item = $item->getIterator(); }

because the getIterator of Vector/Map always return an \IteratorAggregate. But I don't understand this while loop because nothing say that this while loop will end.

Well, in userland, you cannot have an infinite loop there, because at some point, you need to reach a place actually implementing the iteration protocol. But for extensions, they might be able to override the iteration protocol without actually implementing Iterator.

I don't understand why the getIterator function of an IteratorAggregate should at some point not return an IteratorAggregate. For me, there is no reason to believe that. But maybe I missed something ?
