Hello community,

I'm wondering how can I copy an array of complexe type. See this example :
#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

class A{
	public:
		int one = 1;
		int two = 2;

		virtual ~A(){}
		
		virtual int sum()const =0;
		virtual A* clone()const =0;
};

class B : public A{
	public:
		int three =3;
		
		//Constructor
		B(){}
		B(const B& b){
			one = b.one;
			two = b.two;
			three = b.three;
		}
		virtual ~B(){}
		
		//Function
		int sum()const{
			return one +two +three;
		}
		B* clone()const {return new B(*this);}
};

class C : public A{
	public:
		int four =4;
		
		//Constructor
		C(){}
		C(const C& c){
			one = c.one;
			two = c.two;
			four = c.four;
		}
		virtual ~C(){}
		
		//Function
		int sum()const{
			return one +two +four;
		}
		C* clone()const {return new C(*this);}
};

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> myArrays;
	myArrays.Create<B>("FirstElement").one = 10;
	myArrays.Create<B>("SecondElement").two =0;
	myArrays.Create<C>("ThirdElement");
	
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("FirstElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 15
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("SecondElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 4
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("ThirdElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 7
	
	
	ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> aCopy(myArrays,myArrays.GetCount()); //not working
	/*ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> aCopy;
	aCopy = Upp::clone(myArrays); //Not working*/
	
	myArrays.Clear(); //Clearing the base Array

	Cout() << aCopy.Get("FirstElement").sum() << EOL; //If the copying goes well it should print 15 even if base array have been destroyed
	Cout() << aCopy.Get("SecondElement").sum() << EOL;//If the copying goes well it should print 4 even if base array have been destroyed
	Cout() << aCopy.Get("ThirdElement").sum() << EOL;//If the copying goes well it should print 7 even if base array have been destroyed
}

with this simple exemple, compilation error I get is "error: allocating an object of abstract class type 'A'" which makes sense.
Someone can explain me how can I do the trick and copy my array ?

This is not perfect, but I think it works.
(IMHO this is a little overcomplex for me Sad)

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

class A : MoveableAndDeepCopyOption<A> {
	public:
		int one = 1;
		int two = 2;

		A() {}
		virtual ~A(){}
		
		virtual int sum() const = 0;
		A(const A& a, int) {
			one = a.one;
			two = a.two;
		}

		virtual A* clone()const = 0;
};

class B : public A {
	public:
		int three =3;
		
		//Constructor
		B(){}
		B(const B& b, int){
			one = b.one;
			two = b.two;
			three = b.three;
		}
		virtual ~B(){}
		
		//Function
		virtual int sum()const{
			return one +two +three;
		}
		virtual B* clone()const {return new B(*this);}
};

class C : public A{
	public:
		int four =4;
		
		//Constructor
		C(){}
		C(const C& c, int){
			one = c.one;
			two = c.two;
			four = c.four;
		}
		virtual ~C(){}
		
		//Function
		virtual int sum()const{
			return one +two +four;
		}
		virtual C* clone()const {return new C(*this);}
};

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> myArrays;
	myArrays.Create<B>("FirstElement").one = 10;
	myArrays.Create<B>("SecondElement").two =0;
	myArrays.Create<C>("ThirdElement");
	
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("FirstElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 15
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("SecondElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 4
	Cout() << myArrays.Get("ThirdElement").sum() << EOL; //Correct print 7
	
	ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> aCopy;
	for (int i = 0; i < myArrays.GetCount(); ++i)
		aCopy.Add(myArrays.GetKey(i), pick(myArrays[i].clone()));
	
	myArrays.Clear(); //Clearing the base Array

	Cout() << aCopy.Get("FirstElement").sum() << EOL; //If the copying goes well it should print 15 even if base array have been destroyed
	Cout() << aCopy.Get("SecondElement").sum() << EOL;//If the copying goes well it should print 4 even if base array have been destroyed
	Cout() << aCopy.Get("ThirdElement").sum() << EOL;//If the copying goes well it should print 7 even if base array have been destroyed
}

I think that in your case using directly clone() is problematic as it casts the child class constructor to the parent class.

Hello Koldo, Thanks a lot for taking time to help me,

Your solution worked even without inherritance of A from MoveableAndDeepCopyOption.
But instead of doing this :
ArrayMap<Upp::String, A> aCopy;
	for (int i = 0; i < myArrays.GetCount(); ++i)
		aCopy.Add(myArrays.GetKey(i), pick(myArrays[i].clone()));

I'm surprised that ArrayMap don't have a simple function to do this.
However I have a little question, since My clone return a pointer to a static memory object wich is moved to the fresh object created by array,
what happen to this static allocation since I never delete anywhere this memory chunk ? Will it became a memory leak ?

Thanks in advance

Your code:
virtual C* clone() const {return new C(*this);}

Array:
void Array<T>::Free() {
	for(int i = 0; i < vector.GetCount(); i++)
		delete (T *) vector[i];
}
