[PHP-DEV] $obj = new foo() patch From: Andi Gutmans (andi <email protected>)
Date: 11/09/00

Guys,

I have submitted a patch to the Zend Engine which is considered
experimental. It is supposed to fix the problem with the $obj = new foo()
statement when the constructor of foo() assigns $this by reference to other
symbol table entries. Basically, the Zend Engine will explicitly assign new
foo() by reference to $obj because this is pretty much the only thing which
makes sense in this case.
NOTE: If you do $obj2 = $obj1 = new foo(), "$obj2 = $obj1" will still
assign by value and not by reference.
This patch is only meant to fix this problematic bug which has about 5
entries in the bugs database.
Please check it out. If there are any problems/concerns with this bug it is
best to leave it out for 4.0.4 but it should not harm anyone's scripts.
The following bugs are probably solved now: 6529, 6896, 7454, 7455, 7482
Anyway, please grab a fresh CVS tree and check that your OOP code still
works :)
Thanks!
Andi
