Description

The following code:

<?php
$stream = fopen('php://memory', 'r+');
$result = fseek($stream, PHP_INT_MIN, SEEK_END);
var_dump($result);

Resulted in this output:

/Users/arshid/Downloads/php-src/main/streams/memory.c:168:45: runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'zend_off_t' (aka 'long long'); cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself
SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior /Users/arshid/Downloads/php-src/main/streams/memory.c:168:45 
[4]    93646 abort      sapi/cli/php z.php

But I expected this output instead:
