Bug description: Static references are transient inside methods
Another unfortunate bug with references appears to be that statics holding
references inside methods are actually transient, and a reference will be
lost.
For example, calling the following code several times will initialise $db
and return every time with a new instance.
function &getInstance()
{
static $db;
if (!isset($db)) {
$db =& new FS_DB();
}
return $db;
}
whereas the following will give true singeton behaviour and initialise just
once, as expected.
function &getInstance()
{
static $db;
if (!isset($db)) {
$db = new FS_DB();
}
return $db;
}
