When passing structures as arguments and return variables, when should
duplicate be used? When do I need to be concerned that CF passes pointer to
original versus copy. For example:
Function Foo
argument fooArg
set var workingFoo = arguments.fooArg
return workingFoo
OR
Function Foo
argument fooArg
set var workingFoo = duplicate(arguments.fooArg)
return duplicate(workingFoo)
OR duplicate only on original set
OR duplicate only on return
And since CF passes pointer versus duplicate, which of these 2 sets is best:
set workingFoo = doSomething(workingFoo)
OR just
doSomething(workingFoo)
Since any changes made directly to arguments.workingFoo will also be done to
workingFoo in the calling function....
As you can tell, I am FUBAR'd
