Summary

This PR addresses critical validation gaps and algorithm precision issues in BCMath::sqrt, ensuring complete compatibility with native PHP bcsqrt behavior.

🚨 Issues Fixed

1. Missing Negative Number Validation

Before: BCMath::sqrt('-1') returned '0' (should throw ValueError)
After: Throws ValueError: bcsqrt(): Argument #1 ($num) must be greater than or equal to 0 like native bcsqrt

2. Memory Exhaustion Crashes

Before: BCMath::sqrt('-0.5') consumed 1GB+ memory causing fatal errors
After: Properly throws ValueError preventing crashes

3. Algorithm Precision Issues with Large Numbers

Before: BCMath::sqrt('15151324141414.412312232141241', 0) returned incorrect results
After: Returns exact native result '3892470'

4. Incorrect Handling of Numbers < 1

Before: Small decimals like 0.0001 produced inaccurate results
After: Correct leading zero pair processing yields accurate results

🔧 Key Improvements

✅ Negative Number Validation

// Check for negative numbers (except negative zero)
if ($num !== '' && $num[0] === '-' && !self::isZero($num)) {
    throw new \ValueError('bcsqrt(): Argument #1 ($num) must be greater than or equal to 0');
}

✅ Algorithm Precision Fixes

  • Large Numbers: Separate padding for integer and decimal parts
  • Numbers < 1: Accurate leading zero pair calculation and formatting
  • Decimal Point Placement: Output digit-based decimal insertion
  • Memory Safety: Improved loop termination conditions

✅ Comprehensive Test Coverage

  • 22 Test Cases: Complete php-src test suite migration

Code Review: BCMath::sqrt validation and algorithm precision fixes

Thank you for this comprehensive improvement to the bcmath polyfill. I've reviewed the changes in detail and have both positive feedback and some areas for consideration.

Strengths

1. Security Improvements

  • Excellent security fixes for whitespace handling vulnerabilities across all BCMath methods (lines 320, 325, 746, 896, 932, 991)
  • Proper ltrim() usage before character access prevents bypassing negative number validation
  • Comprehensive test coverage for whitespace edge cases including control characters, null bytes, and Unicode scenarios

2. Algorithm Correctness

  • Significantly improved sqrt algorithm with proper handling of numbers < 1
  • Correct leading zero pair processing for decimal inputs like 0.0001
  • Fixed precision issues for large numbers that previously caused memory exhaustion or incorrect results
  • Proper negative zero handling throughout the codebase

3. Code Quality

  • DRY principle applied well with extraction of isZero() helper method (lines 260-268)
  • Excellent documentation with comprehensive examples in docblocks
  • Consistent error handling with appropriate exception types (ValueError, DivisionByZeroError)
  • Comprehensive test suite expansion (320+ new test cases)

4. Native Compatibility

  • Ensures identical behavior with native PHP bcmath functions
  • Proper error message consistency
  • Correct handling of edge cases including negative zero variants

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

1. Algorithm Complexity

The sqrt method (lines 726-873) has become quite complex with multiple special cases. Consider:

// Current implementation has many nested conditions
if ($integerPart === '0' && $decimalPart !== '') {
    // 20+ lines of special handling...
}

Suggestion: Extract decimal handling into a separate private method:

private static function handleDecimalPart(string $decimalPart): array
{
    // Handle leading zero pairs and formatting
    return [$processedDecimal, $leadingZeroPairs];
}

2. Performance Considerations

  • String manipulation overhead: Multiple ltrim(), substr(), and strspn() calls could be optimized
  • Memory usage: Algorithm creates intermediate arrays and strings that could be reduced for very large numbers
  • Consider pre-calculating common values to avoid repeated computation

3. Code Duplication

While isZero() reduces some duplication, there's still repeated ltrim() + character access patterns:

// This pattern appears multiple times:
$trimmedNum = ltrim($num);
if ($trimmedNum !== '' && $trimmedNum[0] === '-') {

Suggestion: Create a helper method:

private static function startsWithSign(string $num, string $sign): bool
{
    $trimmed = ltrim($num);
    return $trimmed !== '' && $trimmed[0] === $sign;
}

4. Test Organization

The test file is becoming large (1600+ lines). Consider:

  • Separating sqrt-specific tests into BCMathSqrtTest.php
  • Grouping whitespace security tests into BCMathSecurityTest.php
  • Using more descriptive test method names

🔧 Minor Issues

Magic Numbers

// Line 843: Magic number could be documented
if (($decimalDigits >= $scale && $scale >= 0)) {

Variable Naming

Some variables could be more descriptive:

  • $x, $y, $p, $c in the sqrt algorithm (mathematical notation is fine, but consider adding comments)

📊 Performance Analysis

The changes should not significantly impact performance for normal operations:

  • ✅ Early zero detection prevents unnecessary computation
  • ✅ Input validation happens upfront
  • ⚠️ Complex decimal handling may be slower for numbers < 1, but this is acceptable for correctness

🛡️ Security Assessment

Excellent security improvements:

  • Prevents whitespace bypass attacks
  • Proper input validation prevents injection-style attacks
  • Memory exhaustion protection through early validation
  • No credential or sensitive data exposure risks

📝 Recommendations

  1. Extract complex logic: Break down the sqrt method into smaller, focused methods
  2. Add performance tests: Include benchmarks for large numbers and edge cases
  3. Consider caching: For repeated operations on the same inputs
  4. Documentation: Add algorithm complexity notes in comments

🎯 Overall Assessment

This is a high-quality PR that significantly improves the library's security, correctness, and compatibility. The comprehensive test coverage and attention to edge cases is commendable. While there are opportunities for refactoring to improve maintainability, the current implementation correctly solves the critical issues identified.

Recommendation:Approve with minor suggestions for future iterations

The security fixes alone make this PR valuable, and the sqrt algorithm improvements ensure reliable arbitrary precision arithmetic. Well done on the thorough approach to both implementation and testing!

The startsWithNegativeSign method calls ltrim($num) which could be expensive for large strings. Since we're only checking the first character after trimming, consider using a more direct approach or caching the trimmed result.
