Detailed Description

Interface indicating that an object can be duplicated.

Note that while duplication looks very similar to cloning, it is actually different. A duplicated object may not have the exact same state as the original. This is particularly true of Processor objects, which always have a different numerical ID. Moreover, duplication may be dependent on a Context object, which cannot be the case with Java's meaning of cloning. Hence the need for a different interface.

duplicate() [1/2]

Object ca.uqac.lif.cep.Duplicable.duplicate

(

)

Duplicates an object and sets it to its initial state.

This should be the same thing as calling duplicate(false).

Returns

Another object

Implemented in ca.uqac.lif.cep.Processor, ca.uqac.lif.cep.functions.Function, ca.uqac.lif.cep.functions.DuplicableFunction, and ca.uqac.lif.cep.DuplicableProcessor.

duplicate() [2/2]

Object ca.uqac.lif.cep.Duplicable.duplicate

(

boolean

with_state

)

Duplicates an object.

Optionally, set the object into the same state as the source object.

Parameters

with_state

Set to true to replicate the object's state, false to create a new copy in the initial state.

Returns

Another object
