inlinestatic |
Get the name of the class as a C string.
This is a static function which returns the type of a specific class.
When comparing class names, always use the strcmp()
function rather than comparing pointers. The pointers are not necessarily the same over compilation units depending on the compiler, platform etc.

Create a copy of the class on the heap.
The exact semantics of the descendent class determine what is required to make a duplicate of the instance. Not all classes can even do a clone operation.
The main user of the clone function is the PDictionary
class as it requires copies of the dictionary keys.
The default behaviour is for this function to assert.

Compare the two objects and return their relative rank.
This function is usually overridden by descendent classes to yield the ranking according to the semantics of the object.
The default function is to use the CompareObjectMemoryDirect()
function to do a byte wise memory comparison of the two objects.
LessThan
, EqualTo
or GreaterThan
according to the relative rank of the objects.

Determine the byte wise comparison of two objects.
This is the default comparison operation for objects that do not explicitly override the Compare()
function.
The PCLASSINFO
macro declares an override of this function for the particular class. The user need not implement it.
LessThan
, EqualTo
or GreaterThan
according to the result memcpy()
function.

function rather than comparing pointers. The pointers are not necessarily the same over compilation units depending on the compiler, platform etc.

This function yields a hash value required by the PDictionary
class.
A descendent class that is required to be the key of a dictionary should override this function. The precise values returned is dependent on the semantics of the class. For example, the PString
class overrides it to provide a hash function for distinguishing text strings.
The default behaviour is to return the value zero.
Reimplemented in PString, PChannel, PGloballyUniqueID, PURL, POrdinalKey, and PRemoteConnection.

The exact output is dependent on the exact semantics of the descendent class. This is primarily used by the standard operator<<
function.
