deepcopy

README

Sometimes you may want to limit deep copying from copying some leaf type.

Currently you CAN do so, this way:

    Make your type implement the IDeepCopy interface, and do copying yourself, e.g. just copy
    the pointer.

If your type is impossible to extend with methods, e.g. that's a library type, then:

    Make a wrapper for your type.

    Make the wrapper implement the IDeepCopy interface.

Overview

deepcopy makes deep copies of things. A standard copy will copy the pointers: deep copy copies the values pointed to. Unexported field values are not copied.

Functions

func Copy

func Copy(src interface{}) interface{}

Copy creates a deep copy of whatever is passed to it and returns the copy in an interface{}. The returned value will need to be asserted to the correct type.

Types

type IDeepCopy interface {
	DeepCopy() interface{}
}
