Bug description: new operator does not behave correctly
I submitted this bug previous and was told that this is how the new operator is
supposed to work. I submit to you that in every other instance this makes sense, but
for self referencing constructs, especially with the new operator, the fact that =new
is not interpreted as =&new does not make sense whatsoever because why would I want to
assign a copy of the object I just created, especially if that object opens files? Is
there EVER a situation where I want to assign ANYTHING other than the object I just
created???
Thank you.
--------- Response follows ------------------
Yes, when you do a $obj = new Foo(), the object is copied.
Use =& if you want reference.

$objectlist=array();
class MyClass
{
function MyClass()
{
global $objectlist;
// Save the reference for later use
$objectList[]=&$this;
}
};
// the object referred to by $myobject is NOT in the array
$myobject = new MyClass();
// $myobject2 exists in the array
$myobject2 =& new MyClass();
It appears that there is an object being copied when returning from the
constructor. What am I doing wrong?
I'm not supposed to return anything from the constuctor.
