Jira issue originally created by user needle:

Apparently apc is having issues when storing an ClassMetadata object with sequenceGeneratorDefinition. When loading the object, apc seems to have lost this only field. I've just tested it with xml mapping.

Here is a fail test casse :

SecondClass and ThirdClass inherit from FirstClass

SQL

CREATE TABLE first_class
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  "type" integer,
  CONSTRAINT first*class*pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE second_class
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  other_stuff character varying,
  CONSTRAINT second*class*pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE third_class
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  other_stuff character varying,
  CONSTRAINT third*class*pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Xml mapping :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doctrine-mapping xmlns="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd">

  <entity name="FirstClass" table='"first_class"' inheritance-type="JOINED">
    <id name="id" type="integer" column="id">
      <generator strategy="SEQUENCE"/>
      <sequence-generator sequence-name="first*class_id*seq" allocation-size="1" initial-value="1"/>
    </id>

    <discriminator-column name="type" type="integer" field-name="type" />

    <discriminator-map>
      <discriminator-mapping value="1" class="SecondClass" />
      <discriminator-mapping value="2" class="ThirdClass" />
    </discriminator-map>
  </entity>

  <entity name="SecondClass" table="second_class">
    <field name="otherStuff" column="other_stuff" type="string" />
  </entity>
</doctrine-mapping>

  <entity name="ThirdClass" table="second_class">
    <field name="otherStuff" column="other_stuff" type="string" />
  </entity>
</doctrine-mapping>

Php classes :

class FirstClass {

  private $id;
  private $type;
}

class SecondClass extends FirstClass {
  private $otherStuff;
}

class ThirdClass extends FirstClass {
  private $otherStuff;
}

First scipt to execute so that Doctrine store FirstClass metadata in cache :

$firstClass = new FirstClass();
$doctrineEntityManager->persist($firstClass);

$secondClass = new SecondClass();
$doctrineEntityManager->persist($secondClass);

and then we execute the last script :

$firstClass = new FirstClass();
$doctrineEntityManager->persist($firstClass);


$thirdClass = new ThirdClass();
$doctrineEntityManager->persist($thirdClass);

Obviously, Doctrine loads FirstClass Metadata from the cache and fails to create ThirdClass Metadata :

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::setSequenceGeneratorDefinition() must be an array, null given, called in doctrine/2.0.0-BETA1/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/ClassMetadataFactory.php on line 269 and defined in doctrine/2.0.0-BETA1/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/ClassMetadataInfo.php on line 1222

With a little more debug I found that juste doing :

unserialize(serialize($data));

On _doSave() method from ApcCache object make me lost the sequenceGeneratorDefinition field...

Any idea ?
