equal

cmakepp_lang/object/equal._cpp_object_equal(this result other)

Compares two objects for equality.

This function is the default equality comparison for all user-defined classes. It can be overridden by the derived class if a different implementation is needed. The default implementation ensures that the objects have the same most-derived type and that their states compare equal (their states are stored in maps and we simply compare the maps).

Parameters:

this (obj) – One of the two Object instances being compared.
result (desc) – Name for variable which will hold the comparison’s result.
other (obj) – The other Object instance being compared.

Returns:

result will be set to TRUE if the instances are equal and FALSE otherwise.

Return type:

bool

Variables:

CMAKEPP_LANG_DEBUG_MODE (bool) – Used to determine if CMakePP is being run in debug mode or not.

Error Checking

If CMakePP is being run in debug mode (and only then) this function will ensure that the caller has provided exactly three arguments and that the arguments are of the correct types. If this is not the case an error will be raised.
