Detailed Description

template<typename BaseType>
struct drn::foundation::RequireClonable< BaseType >

Abstract base class requiring derived classes to implement deep-copy functionality.

Provides an interface for creating polymorphic deep copies of objects. Classes that inherit from this must implement the clone method, enabling the creation of a unique pointer to a new copy of the object. This facilitates copying of instances while preserving their full dynamic type.

Template Parameters

BaseType

The base type of objects which can be cloned.

When implemented, creates a polymorphic deep copy of the object.

Ensures the creation of a new instance of the derived type, preserving the object's dynamic type.

Returns

A newly created deep copy of the object.

Implemented in drn::budgeting::Bill, drn::budgeting::Debt, drn::budgeting::Goal, drn::budgeting::Nontrack, and drn::budgeting::Wage.
