Functions

func Clone

func Clone[T any](v T) T

Clone clones *public fields* in a structure. Private fields may or may not be copied, and private pointers may or may not point into the original object.

• this will panic if the structure is not serializable
• See CloneFallible

func CloneFallible

func CloneFallible[T any](v T) (T, error)

CloneFallible clones *public fields* in a structure. Private fields may or may not be copied, and private pointers may or may not point into the original object.

• returns an error if the structure is not serializable
• See Clone
