Assert and take advantage of that size is always 1. This is also documented in [the curl docs](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.html). So there is no need to multiply with size, so this can be removed. I started this to see whether size * nmemb can overflow. This makes it clear that it cannot.
And instead let the normal docref error handling code handle arguments
As it now only has a single usage
…or() It's always NULL
The ZEND_CALLABLE_CONVERT_PARTIAL handler relies on zp_bind() to move each pre-bound argument into the partial and never frees positional arguments itself. When construction throws before an argument is moved, a NULL op_array from zp_get_op_array() or a bound-argument type error, the unmoved arguments were owned by nobody and leaked. Free the arguments that were not moved at each throwing path.

The ZEND_CALLABLE_CONVERT_PARTIAL handler relies on zp_bind() to move each pre-bound argument into the partial closure and never frees positional arguments itself. When construction throws before an argument is moved, either a NULL op_array (argument count error, unknown default value, forbidden dynamic call) or a bound-argument type error, the unmoved arguments were owned by nobody and leaked. A try/catch loop over a failing partial with refcounted arguments leaks within the request until memory_limit. Free the arguments that were not moved at each throwing path.
Reproducer, definitely-lost blocks under valgrind before the fix, clean after:
php -r 'function f(int $a, $b, $c){} for ($i=0;$i<200;$i++){ try { f([1], new stdClass, ?); } catch (\Throwable $e) {} }'
