Detailed Description

An object::Object wrapper for constant strings (char*).

As opposed to object::String, the char array is not copied.

int lout::object::ConstString::compareTo ( Comparable * other )

virtual

Compare two objects, this and other.

Return a value < 0, when this is less than other, a value > 0, when this is greater than other, or 0, when this and other are equal.

If c1.equals(c2) (as defined in Object), c1.compareTo(c2) must be 0, but, unlike you may expect, the reversed is not necessarily true. This method returns 0, if, according to the rules for sorting, there is no difference, but there may still be differences (not relevant for sorting), which "equals" will care about.

Implements lout::object::Comparable.

bool lout::object::ConstString::equals ( Object * other )

virtual

Returns, whether two objects are equal.

The caller should ensure, that this and the object have the same class; this makes casting of "other" safe. Typically, an implementation should check this == other first, the caller can assume a fast implementation.

int lout::object::ConstString::hashValue ( )
