  • Method Details

    • deepCopy

      T deepCopy()
      Deprecated.
      Returns a deep copy of this. A deep copy is equal to the original, but side effects to either object are not visible in the other. A deep copy may share immutable state with the original.

      The run-time class of the result is identical to the run-time class of this. The deep copy is equal to this (per equals() if the object's class does not use reference equality as Object.equals() does).

      Returns:
      a deep copy of this

    • deepCopyOrNull

      static <T2 extends @Nullable DeepCopyable<T2>> @PolyNull T2 deepCopyOrNull(@PolyNull T2 object)
      Deprecated.
      Returns the deep copy of a non-null argument, or null for a null argument.
      Type Parameters:
      T2 - the type of the object
      Parameters:
      object - object to copy
      Returns:
      the deep copy of a non-null argument, or null for a null argument
