Author: dreistromlandMf

### Description

The following code:

```php
<?php

trait a {
    public ?string $a = 'a' {
        get => $this->a;
    }
}

class b {
    use a;
}

$b = new b();
echo $b->a;
```

Resulted in this output when `require`d inside of the file configured under php.ini `opcache.preload`:
```
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Maximum call stack size of 8339456 bytes (zend.max_allowed_stack_size - zend.reserved_stack_size) reached. Infinite recursion? in /var/www/html/index.php:5
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/html/index.php(5): b->$a::get()
#1 /var/www/html/index.php(5): b->$a::get()
#2 /var/www/html/index.php(5): b->$a::get()
#3 /var/www/html/index.php(5): b->$a::get()
[…]
#10192 /var/www/html/index.php(14): b->$a::get()
#10193 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/html/index.php on line 5
```

But I expected this output instead:
```
a
```

I uploaded a full repo with what I believe to be the minimal reproduction case into <https://github.com/dreistromlandMf/php-trait-property-hook-getter-opcache-preload>. I could reproduce this with current PHP 8.4 as well. It doesn’t seem to reproduce using the CLI, but booth mod-apache and frankenphp do reproduce this behaviour.

This does look similar to https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/15240, which was marked fixed in 2024.
