浅拷贝和深拷贝

• 浅拷贝即指针拷贝，可以认为是给一只狗加了一条绳子；深拷贝不但拷贝了对象的指针，还在系统中在分配了一块内存用来存放拷贝对象的内容，可以认为是产生了一条带绳子的新狗。即浅拷贝是两根绳子一条狗，深拷贝是两根绳子两条狗且每只狗对应各自的绳子。
• 图示：
  

• 深浅拷贝取决于拷贝后的对象是不是和被拷贝对象的地址相同，如果不同，则产生了新的对象，即为深拷贝。如果不同，则只是指针拷贝，相当于retain一次原对象，即为浅拷贝。

  copy与mutableCopy

• copy复制后的对象是不可变对象，mutableCopy复制后的对象是可变对象，与原始对象是否可变无关。

  非集合类的copy与mutableCopy

• 对不可变对象执行copy操作，是指针复制（浅拷贝），执行mutableCopy操作是内容复制（深拷贝）。
• 对可变对象执行copy操作和mutableCopy操作都是内容复制（深拷贝）。

• 代码表示如下：

  [immutableObject copy];             // 浅复制
  [immutableObject mutableCopy];      // 深复制
  [mutableObject copy];               // 深复制
  [mutableObject mutableCopy] ;       // 深复制

  容器类的浅复制和深复制

• 容器对象和非容器对象类似，可变对象复制的都是一个新对象，不可变对象copy的是浅复制，mutableCopy是深复制
• 对于容器而言，元素对象始终是指针复制。

• 验证代码：

  NSMutableArray *array01 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"a",@"b",@"c", nil];
  NSArray *copyArray01 = [array01 copy];
  NSMutableArray *mutableCopyArray01 = [array01 mutableCopy];
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,copyArray01 = %p",array01,copyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,mutableCopyArray01 = %p",array01,mutableCopyArray01);
  NSLog(@"==================================================================");
  [array01 addObject:@"d"];
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,copyArray01 = %p",array01,copyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,mutableCopyArray01 = %p",array01,mutableCopyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01 =%@\n copyArray01 =%@\n mutableCopyArray01 =%@",array01,copyArray01,mutableCopyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01[0] = %p,array01[1] = %p,array01[2] = %p,array01[3] = %p",array01[0],array01[1],array01[2],array01[3]);
  NSLog(@"copyArray01[0] = %p,copyArray01[1] = %p,copyArray01[2] = %p",copyArray01[0],copyArray01[1],copyArray01[2]);
  NSLog(@"mutableCopyArray01[0] = %p,mutableCopyArray01[1] = %p,mutableCopyArray01[2] = %p",mutableCopyArray01[0],mutableCopyArray01[1],mutableCopyArray01[2]);
  NSLog(@"==================================================================");
  [mutableCopyArray01 addObject:@"e"];
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,copyArray01 = %p",array01,copyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01 = %p,mutableCopyArray01 = %p",array01,mutableCopyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01 =%@\n copyArray01 =%@\n mutableCopyArray01 =%@",array01,copyArray01,mutableCopyArray01);
  NSLog(@"array01[0] = %p,array01[1] = %p,array01[2] = %p",array01[0],array01[1],array01[2]);
  NSLog(@"copyArray01[0] = %p,copyArray01[1] = %p,copyArray01[2] = %p",copyArray01[0],copyArray01[1],copyArray01[2]);
  NSLog(@"mutableCopyArray01[0] = %p,mutableCopyArray01[1] = %p,mutableCopyArray01[2] = %p,mutableCopyArray01[3] = %p",mutableCopyArray01[0],mutableCopyArray01[1],mutableCopyArray01[2],mutableCopyArray01[3]);

  深拷贝浅拷贝面试中也经常问到，这只是一个简单的理解和总结，除了这些，还有很多比较复杂的以及自定义对象的深复制和浅复制。
  推荐一篇讲得比较详细和深刻的文章：https://github.com/pro648/tips/wiki/%E6%B7%B1%E5%A4%8D%E5%88%B6%E3%80%81%E6%B5%85%E5%A4%8D%E5%88%B6%E3%80%81copy%E3%80%81mutableCopy。我在整理这篇文章的时候也参考了这篇文章，感谢作者的分享。
