Hi Paul,
The clone() in SegmentInfos is correct. The best practice of clone is to
delegate the clone to the super class (if you look at the source code for
Vector, it too delegates to its super class, which is the Object) to create a
shallow copy, and then do a cloning of each of its mutable fields/elements to
get a deep copy.
May sound counter-intuitive, but the delegated call to Vector.clone actually
does return an instance of SegmentInfos. This is because when the clone is
eventually delegated to Object.clone, it is a native call which does a "native
copying" of the instance (in this case, a SegmentInfos instance).
i have tried running a test, and SegmentInfos.clone does work for me. You may
want to try running the following programme using the same classpath settings
that you used with the actual programme:
package org.apache.lucene.index;
public class Test {
public static final void main(String[] args) {
SegmentInfos sis = new SegmentInfos();
SegmentInfos sis2 = (SegmentInfos) sis.clone();
System.out.println("done");
}
}
HTH,
Edwin
