sc::identifier(3)
NAME
sc::Identifier - Identifier's are used to distinguish and order
objects.
SYNOPSIS
#include <identity.h> Public Member Functions Identifier () Create an Identifier for a null object. Identifier (const Identity *i) Create an Identifier for the given object. Identifier (const Identifier &i) Create an Identifier for the given object. ~Identifier () The destructor does nothing. void operator= (const Identifier &i) Assign to the given Identifier. int operator< (const Identifier &i) const Less than. int operator> (const Identifier &i) const Greater than. int operator== (const Identifier &i) const Equal. int operator<= (const Identifier &i) const Less than or equal. int operator>= (const Identifier &i) const Greater than or equal. int operator!= (const Identifier &i) const Not equal. void print (std::ostream &) const
Detailed Description
Identifier's are used to distinguish and order objects.
On many architectures a pointer to the object will suffice, but the C++
standard only guarantees that this works for two pointers pointing
within the same structure or array. Classes need to inherit from
Identity to use this mechanism. Identity, Identifier, and the shorthand
boolean operations may have to be modified for certain architectures.
