1、几点说明
说到NSCopying和NSMutableCopying协议,不得不说的就是copy和mutableCopy。
如果类想要支持copy操作,则必须实现NSCopying协议,也就是说实现copyWithZone方法;
如果类想要支持mutableCopy操作,则必须实现NSMutableCopying协议,也就是说实现mutableCopyWithZone方法;
iOS系统中的一些类已经实现了NSCopying或者NSMutableCopying协议的方法,如果向未实现相应方法的系统类或者自定义类发送copy或者mutableCopy消息,则会crash。
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[Person copyWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6080000314c0'
发送copy和mutableCopy消息,均是进行拷贝操作,但是对不可变对象的非容器类、可变对象的非容器类、可变对象的容器类、不可变对象的容器类中复制的方式略有不同;但如下两点是相同的:
发送copy消息,拷贝出来的是不可变对象;
发送mutableCopy消息,拷贝出来的是可变对象;
故如下的操作会导致crash
NSMutableString *test1 = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:@"11111"];
NSMutableString *test2 = [test1 copy];
[test2 appendString:@"22222"];
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSTaggedPointerString appendString:]: unrecognized selector sent to
2、系统非容器类
系统提供的非容器类中,如NSString,NSMutableString,有如下特性:
向不可变对象发送copy,进行的是指针拷贝;向不可变对象发送mutalbeCopy消息,进行的是内容拷贝;
NSString *test3 = @"111111";
NSString *test4 = [test3 copy];
NSMutableString *test5 = [test3 mutableCopy];
NSLog(@"test3 is %p, test4 is %p, tast5 is %p",test3,test4,test5);
test3 is 0x10d6bb3a8, test4 is 0x10d6bb3a8, tast5 is 0x600000073e80
向可变对象发送copy和mutableCopy消息,均是深拷贝,也就是说内容拷贝;
NSMutableString *test11 = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:@"444444"];
NSString *test12 = [test11 copy];
NSMutableString *test13 = [test11 mutableCopy];
NSLog(@"test11 is %p, test12 is %p, tast13 is %p",test11,test12,test13);
test11 is 0x600000073e00, test12 is 0xa003434343434346, tast13 is 0x600000073dc0
3、系统容器类
系统提供的容器类中,如NSArray,NSDictionary,有如下特性:
不可变对象copy,是浅拷贝,也就是说指针复制;发送mutableCopy,是深复制,也就是说内容复制;
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"1", nil];
NSArray *copyArray = [array copy];
NSMutableArray *mutableCopyArray = [array mutableCopy];
NSLog(@"array is %p, copyArray is %p, mutableCopyArray is %p", array, copyArray, mutableCopyArray);
array is 0x60800001e580, copyArray is 0x60800001e580, mutableCopyArray is 0x608000046ea0
