It's not a question of circumvention, just of understanding how things operate under the covers. If a statement is made in the docs that "any variables local to a UDF are destroyed when the UDF is exited", where does it leave things like the query in my example. Either it is not destroyed, and a reference to the query is passed or it is destroyed and a copy (ala the duplicate() function) is passed. Dave holds by the former.
Unless I hear from someone who's gone deeper into ColdFusion's internal memory management, I'm going to assume Dave is basically right. How about Railo? Gert, want to chime in?
