clone: Cloning ff and ram objects

In OHDSI/bit: A Class for Vectors of 1-Bit Booleans

Description

clone physically duplicates objects and can additionally change some features, e.g. length.

Usage

clone(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'list'
clone(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
clone(x, ...)
still.identical(x, y)

Arguments

x	x
y	y
...	further arguments to the generic

Details

clone is generic. clone.default currently only handles atomics. clone.list recursively clones list elements. still.identical returns TRUE if the two atomic arguments still point to the same memory.

Value

an object that is a deep copy of x
