copy_<name>

copy_<name>( 
r_defstruct 
) 
=> r_defstruct

Description

Creates and returns a copy of a structure. This function is created by the defstruct function where name is the name of the defstruct.

Structures can contain instances of other structures; therefore you need to be careful about structure sharing. If sharing is not desired, use the copyDefstructDeep function to generate a copy of the structure and its sub-elements.

Arguments

r_defstruct

An instance of a defstruct.

Value Returned

r_defstruct

Copy of the given instance.

Examples

defstruct(myStruct a b c) 
=> t

m1 = _myStruct(?a 3 ?b 2 ?c 1) 
=> array[x]:xxxx

m2 = copy_myStruct(m1) 
=> array[x]:xxxx
