class `BinaryCloner`

Helper class that performs cloning of an object that implements RTTI.

Public

static SPtr<IReflectable> Clone(IReflectable *object, bool shallow = false)

Returns a copy of the provided object with identical data.

object: Object to clone.
shallow: If false then all referenced objects will be cloned as well, otherwise the references to the original objects will be kept.

static ObjectExternalReferences GatherExternalReferences(IReflectable *object, FrameAllocator &allocator, RTTIOperationContext &rttiOperationContext)

Iterates over the provided object hierarchy and retrieves all object references which are returned in a hierarchical format for easier parsing.

static void RestoreExternalReferences(IReflectable *object, FrameAllocator &allocator, const ObjectExternalReferences &externalReferences, RTTIOperationContext &rttiOperationContext)

Restores a set of references retrieved by GatherExternalReferences() and applies them to a specific object.

Type of the object must be the same as the type that was used when calling GatherExternalReferences().
