Method Summary

SimState

cloneState(ClonedReferences util) deep clones the state object, any references to other SimState objects should be cloned and assigned to the clone via the ClonedReferences util object.

Method Detail

cloneState

SimState cloneState(ClonedReferences util)

deep clones the state object, any references to other SimState objects should be cloned and assigned to the clone via the ClonedReferences util object. The util object ensures that multiple clones of the same object are not performed during a clone operation.

Parameters:

util - instanciate a new one if top level cloning
