c# - How to ensure a struct with a string array as a field would follow value semantics while assigning to another variable -
in msdn documentation mentioned " structs copied on assignment. when struct assigned new variable, data copied, , modification new copy not change data original copy. " i have struct has string array field inside it. struct myvar { private readonly string[] value; myvar(string[] ival) { value = ival; } } when assign 1 struct variable how ensure string array copied (deep copy) assigned variable. you can't in c# because there's no way intercept compiler-generated code copy struct's data 1 another. the thing can make struct immutable. that means: when create struct, make defensive copy of mutable reference types store inside struct (such string array in example). do not pass mutable reference type objects can mutate them. do not expose mutable reference types struct. mean couldn't expose string array struct. don't mutate reference types held in struct. in example, couldn't change contents of string arr...
