克隆数组及其内容 [英] Cloning an array with its content

问题描述

I want to make a copy of an array, to modify the copy in-place, without affecting the original one. This code fails

a = [
  '462664',
  '669722',
  '297288',
  '796928',
  '584497',
  '357431'
]
b = a.clone
b.object_id == a.object_id # => false
a[1][2] = 'X'
a[1] #66X722
b[1] #66X722

The copy should be different than the object. Why does it act like if it were just a reference?

解决方案

You need to do a deep copy of your array.

Here is the way to do it

Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(a))

This is because you are cloning the array but not the elements inside. So the array object is different but the elements it contains are the same instances. You could, for example, also do a.each{|e| b << e.dup} for your case
