Deep Copy NamedArraylist (NamedArraylist class)
This function
makes a "deep copy" of the NamedArraylist method object, nal.
If nal contains objects, they are copied.
If nal is Null, a Null is returned.
Syntax
%outNal = nal:DeepCopy
Syntax terms
| %outNal | A NamedArraylist to contain the deep copy of nal. |
|---|---|
| nal | A NamedArraylist object, which may be Null. |
Usage notes
- Although NamedArraylist objects in general are deep copyable, a particular NamedArraylist might contain references to non-deep-copyable objects, which disallows deep copy of that specific NamedArraylist.
