All I can do for you is to read the error messages.
According to this the function clone_object takes an object as argument.
(This is fine with the kfun description) But you pass something that looks
like a #define. I'm not sure, but usually this resolves to a string.

To provide the behaviour expected at this point, you will have to provide
a function

object clone_object(mixed arg)
{
}

This is usually done in the auto-object. This should allow a mixed
as arg and translate string arguments e.g. via call_object or
compile_object. Have a look at other existing libs for details.
