Example #1 Basic usage of ReflectionClass::isCloneable()
<?php
class NotCloneable {
public $var1;
private function __clone() {
}
}
class Cloneable {
public $var1;
}
$notCloneable = new ReflectionClass('NotCloneable');
$cloneable = new ReflectionClass('Cloneable');
var_dump($notCloneable->isCloneable());
var_dump($cloneable->isCloneable());
?>The above example will output:
bool(false) bool(true)

?>this method checks is `__clone()` method was declared as privateI wonder how this method decides of is it clonable or not. There is no explanation.This does not work for many of core-classes, just like most other reflection methods.
