The call that you referring as "argument by copy" is actually taking an argument by pointer (smart Ptr<Name> pointer). In this case, only pointer will be copied inside the Interest/Data packet, not the whole memory block to hold the name. The second SetName is a convenience, less optimized method. After this version is called, a new Ptr<Name> will be created and supplied name will be copied in there.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>Alex</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 27, 2014, at 12:27 AM, nor masri sahri <<a href="mailto:masri.sahri@gmail.com">masri.sahri@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Arial,'Liberation Sans','DejaVu Sans',sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250)">hi all, Why ndnsim have two versions of </span><code style="margin:0px;padding:1px 5px;border:0px;font-size:13px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:rgb(238,238,238);font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;color:rgb(68,68,68);line-height:17px">SetName()</code><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Arial,'Liberation Sans','DejaVu Sans',sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250)">, one that takes its argument by copy and one that takes it by const reference?
