Public Member Functions

virtual int16_t getInt16Value () const

Return the numeric value of this object as an int16_t.

This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:: the numeric value of this object as an int16_t

virtual int32_t getInt32Value () const

Return the numeric value of this object as an int32_t.

This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:: the numeric value of this object as an int32_t

virtual int64_t getInt64Value () const

Return the numeric value of this object as an int64_t.

This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:: the numeric value of this object as an int64_t

virtual float32_t getFloat32Value () const

Return the numeric value of this object as a float32_t.

This may involve rounding.

Returns:: the numeric value of this object as a float32_t

virtual float64_t getFloat64Value () const

Return the numeric value of this object as a float64_t.

This may involve rounding.

Returns:: the numeric value of this object as a float64_t

virtual int32_t compareTo (Object::View v) const

Compare this object with the specified object for order.

Return a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

It is strongly recommended, but not strictly required, that (x->compareTo(y) == 0) == (x->equals(y)).

Parameters:

the Object to be compared

Returns:: a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object

Exceptions:

ClassCastException

if the specified Object's type prevents it from being compared to this Object

virtual bool equals (Object::View v) const

Return true iff the specified Object is "equal" to this Object.

This method implements an equivalence relation on Objects:

It is reflexive: for any non-null handle h, h->equals(h) must return true.
It is symmetric: for any non-null handles h1 and h2, h1->equals(h2) should return true if and only if h2->equals(h1) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null handles h1, h2, and h3, if h1->equals(h2) returns true and h2->equals(h3) returns true, then h1->equals(h3) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null handles h1 and h2, multiple invocations of h1->equals(h2) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in comparisons on the objects is modified.
If the supplied handle is NULL then false must be returned.

The default implementation is a reference equality comparison.

Parameters:

v the Object::View to compare against, may be NULL

Returns:: true iff the given handle references an Object that is "equal" to this Object

See also:: equals(Object::View v1, Object::View v2)

virtual size32_t hashCode () const

Return a hash code value for the Object.

This method is supported for the benefit of hash-based containers.

The general contract of hashCode is:

Whenever it is invoked on the same Object more than once during an execution of an application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same value, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This value need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
If two Objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two Objects must produce the same value.
It is not required that if two Objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash-based containers.

The default implementation is identity based.

Returns:: a hash code value for this Object
