Rosetta Example: Polymorphic copy
For details see http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Polymorphic_copy
package req nx nx::Class create T { :public method name {} {return T} } nx::Class create S -superclass T { :public method name {} {return S} }
Demonstrating the behavior in a shell:
o1
and o2
are instances of T
and S
. $o1 name
returns the same value as its copy, same for $o2
% set o1 [T new] % set o2 [S new] % $o1 name T % $o2 name S % [$o1 copy] name T % [$o2 copy] name S
