Detailed Description

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

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

◆ chars()

◆ compareTo()

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

virtual

Compare two objects c1 and c2.

Return a value < 0, when c1 is less than c2, a value > 0, when c1 is greater than c2, or 0, when c1 and c2 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.

◆ equals()

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.

Reimplemented from lout::object::Object.
