[DGD] Strange clone_object behaviour

[Tim Blommerde]

Greetings people,

Sorry to bother you all again, but I've stumbled upon some strange
behaviour, or more likely, I'm totally wrong in a few assumptions.  For as
far as I know, clone_object() returns a clone of the argument.  And the
object_name() of a clone should be <master_file>#<id>, right?  Well, if
these assumptions are right, can one of you then explain to my why the
following happens:

object_name(clone_object(FTP_USER)) = "/kernel/obj/ftp_user"

instead of

object_name(clone_object(FTP_USER)) = "/kernel/obj/ftp_user#123"

which I thought would happen?

Can someone please enlighten me a bit in the above mentioned behaviour,
'cause I'm not sure anymore about when something is a clone and when not.
The _F_create() function in the auto object also assumes the '#' part for
clones, which is why my objects aren't called with create(1), but with
create(0).  And this kinda screws up the objects I was writing.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
