Problem Description: I migrated from CF 8 to CF 10. In CF 8 I could update a variable in a structure called "Local" with the cfsavecontent function. This code is not in a cffunction and it gives me unexpected results in CF 10.
I realize that CF 9 added a "local" scope within functions as mentioned here - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSE99A664D-44E3-44d1-92A0-5FDF8D82B55C.html#WS5C402719-A146-427b-A16B-32304610F8F1 . I also realize that "Local" is a reserved word but according to the docs it is only reserved within function declaration http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec173d0-7ff8.html.
Steps to Reproduce:
<cfset Local = StructNew() />
<cfset Local.myString = "Why hello!!" />
<cfset Local.tempMyString = Local.myString />
<cfoutput>First time: Local.myString is #Local.myString#</cfoutput><br />
<cfsavecontent variable="Local.myString">
Look at my shiny new string!!
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>Second time: Local.myString is #Local.myString#</cfoutput><br />
<cfset myLocal = StructNew() />
<cfset myLocal.myString = "Why hello!!" />
<cfset myLocal.tempMyString = myLocal.myString />
<cfoutput>First time: myLocal.myString is #myLocal.myString#</cfoutput><br />
<cfsavecontent variable="myLocal.myString">
Look at my shiny new string!!
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>Second time: myLocal.myString is #myLocal.myString#</cfoutput>
Actual Result:
First time: Local.myString is Why hello!!
Second time: Local.myString is Why hello!!
First time: myLocal.myString is Why hello!!
Second time: myLocal.myString is Look at my shiny new string!!
Expected Result:
First time: Local.myString is Why hello!!
Second time: Local.myString is Look at my shiny new string!!
First time: myLocal.myString is Why hello!!
Second time: myLocal.myString is Look at my shiny new string!!
Any Workarounds:
The workaround is to change the name of the structure from "Local" to something else.
