Framework code for deep copying?

Does the .NET Framework intrinsically support any kind of deep copying for
collections? All the documentation I read mentions deep copying, but never
offers any method for performing it.

without stirring the pot too much -- could someone please point me to whatever documentation exists on the philosophy, semantics, and practical implications of how Python implements the assignment operator? So far I can't find much useful in the regular documentation. I understand the basic concept that names are bound to objects which exist on the heap, but that still doesn't explain why a = b doesn't _always_ cause a to point to the...

hello, i have a data cache which sits between a slow database and my server and it's used to cache data retrieved from the database. in order for it to work correctly (race-conditions) i need a fast deep-copying of instances (the cache is used heavily). i tried to use copy module but it's *very* slow, then i tried cPickle to pickle and depickle instances which was faster, but still slow.

Hi, I'm looking for an efficient method to deep copy containers of fields. A Field is a parent class with children such as Integer_Field, String_Field, and Date_Field, etc. The algorithm / method should ensure that an Integer_Field is not copied (assigned) to a String_Field or other descendant of Field. I have looked at the Visitor design pattern with

I have an XSD which I have generated a class from using the xsd.exe tool. My XSD contains complex types within it, so that the generated class has member variables which are of types that are also defined in the XSD. I deserialize XML data into instances of that class, and serialize back to XML. So far so good. However, in my code I have the concept of wanting to create new copies of these deserialized objects and modifying some of...

I'm sure the net will be buzzing with this news fairly soon, but just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet: Microsoft are going to make the source code for the .NET framework (parts of it, including the BCL, ASP.NET and LINQ) available both for viewing and debugging into. I won't go into all the details here, as they're covered on Scott Guthrie's blog:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
