Detailed Description

template<typename BaseType, typename DerivedType>

DerivedType	The derived type of the object to be cloned.

Member Function Documentation

cloneShared()

template<typename BaseType, typename DerivedType>

std::shared_ptr< BaseType > drn::foundation::Clonable< BaseType, DerivedType >::cloneShared ( const DerivedType & toClone ) const

nodiscard

Creates a shared polymorphic deep copy of the specified object.

It generates a shared deep copy of the provided object, ensuring that the object's full dynamic type is preserved.

Precondition

The derived type must be a valid subclass of BaseType.

Parameters

toClone

The object to be cloned.

Returns

A shared pointer to the deep copy of the specified object.

cloneUnique()

template<typename BaseType, typename DerivedType>

std::unique_ptr< BaseType > drn::foundation::Clonable< BaseType, DerivedType >::cloneUnique ( const DerivedType & toClone ) const

nodiscard

Creates a unique polymorphic deep copy of the specified object.

It generates a deep copy of the provided object, ensuring that the object's full dynamic type is preserved.

Precondition

The derived type must be a valid subclass of BaseType.

Parameters

toClone

The object to be cloned.

Returns

The deep copy of the specified object.
