NOTE: This project is provided as-is as I have not been able to get all use-cases covered for AOT/il2cpp platforms (see here for more details). I'd like to pursue this at some point again once either more support for dynamic code generation is available on these platforms (for Unity) or if I get inspired to pursue this again via a different avenue or set of contraints. If interested in helping, please reach out!

DeepCloner For Unity

About

DeepCloner For Unity is a support library for easy shallow and deep copying of C# .Net objects in Unity. It is a fork of the original DeepCloner library that has additional support for ensuring UnityEngine type or derived type members on an object are assigned rather than shallow or deep-copied as many of these cannot be instantiated through plain C# construction.

Requirements

• Unity 2019.4 LTS or greater
• If using il2cpp, you must include the following snippet below in your link.xml file to prevent this assembly from being stripped, otherwise DeepCloner functionality will fail when attempted to be used at runtime (though it will compile).

<linker>
	<assembly fullname="System.Core">
		<type fullname="System.Linq.Expressions.Interpreter.LightLambda" preserve="all" />
	</assembly>
</linker>

Support

If this is useful to you and/or you’d like to see future development and more tools in the future, please consider supporting it either by contributing to the Github projects (submitting bug reports or features and/or creating pull requests) or by buying me coffee using any of the links below. Every little bit helps!
