Looking at the source file from the link you provided it, on line 1385 function *AddAtom()* is called, which then on line 1741 ( http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/src/mol.cpp?revision=4677&view=markup&pathrev=4677) <http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/src/mol.cpp?revision=4677&view=markup&pathrev=4677) > looks like the atom from otherMol is assigned to new atom on the current molecule (via operator=). Then if we look at the atom operator= on line 151 and 162 in atom.cpp ( http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/src/atom.cpp?revision=4576&view=markup&pathrev=4677 <http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/src/atom.cpp?revision=4576&view=markup&pathrev=4677> ), it shows the generic data being cloned. But then I looked in the base.h file line 210 at the link http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/include/openbabel/base.h?revision=4215&view=markup&pathrev=4677 <http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/include/openbabel/base.h?revision=4215&view=markup&pathrev=4677> and this function just returns NULL and doesn't clone anything. So i guess in the end, there is no cloning, even though the *Duplicate()* in the atom.cpp looks like it does. Is this correct?

At the moment, for our application we use OBPairTemplate class to attach additional attributes that helps us match two atoms which then we can create a bond between them. So if generic data is not cloned, is there a way around this behavior other than subclassing the mol and atom classes and overriding the operator+() and clone() methods respectively in each of the classes.
