STAT_CLONEARRAY and UDT , aren't they compatible ?

[ErosOlmi]

No, I'm sorry
It works only on numeric arrays

In general STAT module was intended to work with numeric arrays

Hi Sebastian,

I think you can perform duplicate for example this way:


uses "Console"

type Vector3D
x as float32
y as float32
end type

dim arr(3) as Vector3D
dim arr_copy(3) as Vector3D

int32 i

for i = 1 to ubound(arr)
arr(i).x = i
arr(i).y = i
next

' This is like "copy bytes from start of the array, of total length calculated like number-of-elements * size-of-element and store them to string"
' VarPtr is "variable pointer"
string binary = peek$(varptr(arr(1)), CountOf(arr(1))*SizeOf(arr(1)))

' This is like - "paste the binary string at place starting at beginning of arr_copy"
poke$(varptr(arr_copy(1)), binary)

printl "Source array:"
for i = 1 to ubound(arr)
printl arr(i).x, arr(i).y
next


printl


printl "Copied array:"
for i = 1 to ubound(arr)
printl arr_copy(i).x, arr_copy(i).y
next


waitkey

Thanks both,

Eros I think the core ARRAY series (https://www.thinbasic.com/public/products/thinBasic/help/html/array_assign.htm) functions may benefit of such ARRAY COPY and ARRAY CLONE functions.

That would be nice!
