Authors are not forced to use the clang-format setting, but should
atleast be inspired by the style.
The only thing which is now not allowed are tabs for ident/alignment!
- obj.isLesserThan() and obj.ieEqual() are now replaced by < and ==
- Removed obsolete isLT(), isLE(), isGT(), isGE()
- Also implemented comparison operators for BObjectImp
- These operators may now be fully overriden in child classes
- Default implementations are derived from == and < operators
- As a general rule (that fit into "undefined" behavior":
-- Objects are == if having the same address
-- Objects are < based on their type ID, except of Error and Uninit
that always are < everything else.
-- Objects are supposed to implement their own < and fall back to
base class. If not implemented, as a last fallback, the object's
address in memory is used to do the comparison
- Added test case for comparison operators
It is very unlikely to grow to more than 256 elements any time soon.
This should save 3 bytes for every single object that derived from it.
Also added explicit int conversions and a not, for better robustness.
returns like TypeOf() the type of given parameter, but returns instead of a string an integer (see basic.em constants)
since integer comparison are way faster then string comparison this function should always be used for comparisons
