什么时候用到深浅拷贝?下面举几个例子说明。
示例1:
// 非容器类对象 NSString *str = @"origin string"; NSString *strCopy = [str copy]; NSMutableString *mstrCopy = [str mutableCopy]; [mstrCopy appendString:@"??"];
NSMutableString *mstr = [NSMutableString stringWithString:@"origin"]; NSString *strCopy = [mstr copy]; NSMutableString *mstrCopy = [mstr copy]; NSMutableString *mstrMCopy = [mstr mutableCopy]; //[mstrCopy appendString:@"1111"]; //error [mstr appendString:@"222"]; [mstrMCopy appendString:@"333"];
以上四个对象所分配的内存都是不一样的。而且对于mstrCopy,它所指向的其实是一个imutable对象,是不可改变的,所以会出错。这点要注意,好好理解。
/* copy返回不可变对象,mutablecopy返回可变对象 */ NSArray *array1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"a",@"b",@"c",nil]; NSArray *arrayCopy1 = [array1 copy]; //arrayCopy1是和array同一个NSArray对象(指向相同的对象),包括array里面的元素也是指向相同的指针 NSLog(@"array1 retain count: %d",[array1 retainCount]); NSLog(@"array1 retain count: %d",[arrayCopy1 retainCount]); NSMutableArray *mArrayCopy1 = [array1 mutableCopy]; //mArrayCopy1是array1的可变副本,指向的对象和array1不同,但是其中的元素和array1中的元素指向的还是同一个对象。mArrayCopy1还可以修改自己的对象 [mArrayCopy1 addObject:@"de"]; [mArrayCopy1 removeObjectAtIndex:0];
array1和arrayCopy1是指针复制,而mArrayCopy1是对象复制,符合前面示例1讨论的结论。mArrayCopy1可以改变其内的元素:删除或添加。但容器内的元素内容都是浅拷贝。
示例4
NSArray *mArray1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSMutableString stringWithString:@"a"],@"b",@"c",nil]; NSLog(@"mArray1 retain count: %d",[mArray1 retainCount]); NSArray *mArrayCopy2 = [mArray1 copy]; NSLog(@"mArray1 retain count: %d",[mArray1 retainCount]); // mArray1和mArrayCopy2指向同一对象,retain值+1。 NSMutableArray *mArrayMCopy1 = [mArray1 mutableCopy]; NSLog(@"mArray1 retain count: %d",[mArray1 retainCount]); //mArrayCopy2和mArray1指向的是不一样的对象,但是其中的元素都是一样的对象——同一个指针 NSMutableString *testString = [mArray1 objectAtIndex:0]; //testString = @"1a1";//这样会改变testString的指针,其实是将@“1a1”临时对象赋给了testString [testString appendString:@" tail"];//这样以上三个数组的首元素都被改变了由此可见,对于容器而言,其元素对象始终是指针复制。如果需要元素对象也是对象复制,就需要实现深拷贝。http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Collections/Articles/Copying.html
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSMutableString stringWithString:@"first"],[NSStringstringWithString:@"b"],@"c",nil]; NSArray *deepCopyArray=[[NSArray alloc] initWithArray: array copyItems: YES]; NSArray* trueDeepCopyArray = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData: [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject: array]];
objectAtIndex:0]尽管是指向同一块内存,但是我们没有办法对其进行修改——因为它是不可改变的。所以指针复制已经足够。所以这并不是完全意义上的深拷贝。
