1.2.1089. Set Clone Link¶

This command creates a link DEFINITION between a clone call, and its equivalent magic method.

This command may not detect all possible link for the clone. It may be missing information about the nature of the clone object.

<?php

class x {
    // Store an object
    private $a;

    function foo() {
        // This clone is linked to the magic method below
        return clone $this;
    }

    function __clone() {
        $this->a = clone $this->a;
    }
}

// This is not linked to any __clone method, by lack of information
clone $x;

?>
