Because a simList works with an environment to hold all objects,
all objects within that slot are pass-by-reference. That means
it is not possible to simply copy an object with an assignment operator:
the two objects will share the same objects. As one simList object changes
so will the other. when this is not the desired behaviour, use this function.
Usage
copy(sim, objects = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'simList,logical':
copy(sim, objects = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'simList,missing':
copy(sim)
Arguments
sim
A simList object.
objects
Whether the objects contained within the simList environment
should be copied. Default = TRUE, which may be slow.
