sigh

Pity they still don't support ';' as CGI parameter separator in their URL parser. I'm not sure that one counts as a bug as such, but I've found one undisputable bit of breakage already; try:

 form.foo=1;
 bar=structcopy(form);
 structdelete(bar, 'foo');
 writeoutput(form.foo); // bang!

I've reported it and got the usual autoresponder reply, which is likely as far as it'll get ;)

Still, having skipped CF6 altogether for a variety of reasons, we're going to migrate our servers from CF5 just as soon as we can be sure we don't break any customers' sites in the process...

StructCopy copies by reference

StructCopy will copy the form structure by reference see StructCopy docs, so that is the expected outcome. I think you want to look at the Duplicate function.

hash copying

Submitted by skydancer on February 11, 2005 - 14:00.

No: AIUI, it should do a shallow copy. Modifying the value of a hash element should carry over; deleting a key in one copy shouldn't (else why not just do foo=form;?) It behaves as it should (and as it did with form in CF5) if you run the same code on an arbitrary struct.
