Subject: [Q] references and objects
From: flavius.as@gmail.com (Flavius Aspra)

I have a zval *obj holding an object of class B, which I then add to an 
array member of another object of class A. Then I create a new instance 
*obj2 of class B, to which I want to add a reference to *obj. How would 
I best go about it?

So A works as a "pool" of B's, and B's may reference to each other.

Please tell me key functions and macros to use to accomplish 
specifically this thing, as the API is quite new to me.

I have thought about setting Z_SET_ISREF_P() manually, but what else 
would I need? From my understanding, I'd still need a new zval* for 
that. Any other better ways?

Regards,
Flavius
