Description:
------------
mysqli_poll() modifies the variable which was assigned to variables passed to mysqli_poll().

The reason probably is that mysqli_poll() doesn't copy zvals on write as it should.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$link1 = mysqli_connect();
$link1->query("SELECT 'test'", MYSQLI_ASYNC);
$all_links = array($link1);
$links = $errors = $reject = $all_links;
mysqli_poll($links, $errors, $reject, 1);
print_r($all_links);


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => mysqli Object
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
)

It's looks expected, Jakub.

See the prototype:
public int mysqli::poll ( array &$read , array &$error , array &$reject , int $sec [, int $usec ] )
int mysqli_poll ( array &$read , array &$error , array &$reject , int $sec [, int $usec ] )

The modification of $links is not the problem, it works as expected. The problem is in modification of $all_links which was not passed to mysqli_poll() at all.

mysqli_poll is missing arginfo telling it needs a reference so the engine can't properly separate the zvals. Will fix that when done with my current fix.
