ByRef Copy Bug — at Version 1

Reported by: anonymous Owned by:
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.3.11.5 Severity: None

Description (last modified by Matt Diesel)

In the following script, the presence of ByRef causes $b to be a reference, not a copy.

Local $a[2] = [1, 2]

test($a[0])

Func test(ByRef $foo)
    Local $b = $a
    $foo += 1

    ConsoleWrite($a[0] & @LF)
    ConsoleWrite($b[0] & @LF)
EndFunc   ;==>test

Description: modified (diff)

This has been discussed here: ​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/161296-supposed-byref-bug/ (Link is to MVP section)

I've changed the code in the report to be much simpler, without the OPs attempt to write object oriented AutoIt without objects.
