I reckon a trans-dimensional array is the answer. -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo [mailto:Robertson-Ravo] Sent: 24 October 2002 11:27 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Pointers / Structure again!
I reckon a multidimensional array must be seen as complex.?! -----Original Message----- From: Russell Brown [mailto:russell.brown@;Freeserve.com] Sent: 24 October 2002 11:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Pointers / Structure again! They are complex. I guess its the way ColdFusion handles them. I don't know how it stands in CFMX but in the c++ coldfusions of yore its clearly a throwback to the way c++ handles memory. That is why I would guess that OBJECTS and queries are also moved, copied , passed by reference ( pointer ) than by value ( a true copy ). Don't ask me what happens to that array that is three levels done in a structure of structures!! Perhaps Lucas or another MacroMeanie can clear this up if they are on list.

I thought they were complex variables? -----Original Message----- From: Russell Brown [mailto:russell.brown@;Freeserve.com] Sent: 24 October 2002 11:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Pointers / Structure again! >So it is clear : using <cfset to copy session to request is AOK as long as >the value is a simple variable but NOT OK if its a complex variable (array, >structure, wddx....)? I amnot certain about Queries or com/java objects but I know you are safe with Arrays and Wddx. Coldfusion copies arrays by value, wddx is just a string (therefore a simple value) . Structs are copied and passed by reference . Queries anyone ? Com / Java Objects ? (I'd love to know, must languages include such things in the docs mind you!)

Thanks Guys, So it is clear : using <cfset to copy session to request is AOK as long as the value is a simple variable but NOT OK if its a complex variable (array, structure, wddx....)?
