I guess I need a vocabulary refresher. :-) by byte array do you mean a 'C' style "string" (essentially what you get from string.begin()?
that seems to be what I am seeing. -----Original Message----- From: Wei Dai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Does deep copy for ByteArrayParameter mean ...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. There is no deep copy option on ByteArrayParameter, only on ConstByteArrayParameter. The purpose of the option is, when getting some data out of an object as a byte array, if the object does not store the data natively as a byte array, it can't just pass out a pointer to a byte array, so instead it converts its data into a byte array and passes out a deep copy of it.
