iphone - ¿Cómo hacer una verdadera copia profunda para NSArray y NSDictionary con matrices/diccionario anidados?

nsmutabledictionary deep-copy

Question

Pregunta: ¿Existe alguna forma de utilizar los métodos Object-C existentes para hacer una copia completa de un NSDictionary o NSArray, que ellos mismos hayan anidado diccionarios o matrices dentro de ellos?

Es decir, he leído que el problema puede ser cuando golpea un array o un diccionario anidado, solo copia el puntero al elemento anidado y no lo copia verdaderamente.

Antecedentes: como un ejemplo para mí, estoy tratando de cargar / guardar la siguiente configuración con NSUserDefaults y cuando cargue necesita convertir las copias inmutables, se obtiene de NSUserDefault a mutable antes de realizar cambios.

Answer 1

Creo que algo así debería funcionar.

NSData *buffer;
NSMutableDictionary *_dict1, *_dict2;
// Deep copy "all" objects in _dict1 pointers and all to _dict2
buffer = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject: _dict1];
_dict2 = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData: buffer];

Hace un par de años, escribí algunos métodos de categorías por exactamente la misma razón, transformando un árbol completo de valores predeterminados de usuario en mutable. Aquí están, ¡utilícelos bajo su propio riesgo! :-)

La manera más fácil para una copia DEEP es simplemente usar CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy. Aquí está el ejemplo (con ARC):

 NSDictionary *newDictionary =
(__bridge NSDictionary *)(CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault,
(__bridge CFPropertyListRef)(originalDictionary),
kCFPropertyListImmutable));

mi originalDiccionario en este ejemplo es un NSDictionary

CFPropertyListRef simplemente puede enviarse a NSDictionary siempre que la entidad de nivel superior de CFPropertyListRef sea CFDictionary.
