=== Description ===

Create a clone of a class .

=== class ===

A class to clone.

=== Return Value ===

Success: New class with same data as the original

Failure: Returns null

=== Remarks ===

If the class has __Clone() function then it will be called during the clone process to allow the class the ability to setup things.

Its worth noting __Clone() does not get called until all the entire clone process is complete

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
// Define a new class
Class Test
{
Static $Instances = 0;
my $ID;
my $Name;
my $Something;
// The Construct will let us know when it happens
Function __Construct($Name)
{
say "Creating a new class with name: $Name...";
$this->$ID = ++Test::$Instances;
}
// The Clone will let us know when it happens
Function __Clone()
{
say "Cloning a class with name: $Name...";
$this->$ID = ++Test::$Instances;
}
};

// Create a new instance of the class and give it a name etc
$a = new Test("John");
$a->$Name = "John";
$a->$Something = array("Cat", "Dog", "Frog");

// Clone the class $a and give it a new name and add something
// to its $something array
$b = Clone $a;
$b->$Name = "Barry";
$b->$Something[] = "FoX";

// Print the contents of the classes
printr $a;
printr $b;

// Prints:
// Creating a new class with name: John...
// Cloning a class with name: John...
// {CLASS:test;ID:3}
// {
// [id] => 1
// [name] => John
// [something] => ARRAY
// {
// [0] => Cat
// [1] => Dog
// [2] => Frog
// }
// }
// {CLASS:test;ID:4}
// {
// [id] => 2
// [name] => Barry
// [something] => ARRAY
// {
// [0] => Cat
// [1] => Dog
// [2] => Frog
// [3] => FoX
// }
// }
</syntaxhighlight>
