Libraries.Language.Compile.CompilerResult

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action attempts to save memory by removing information that may not be necessary for many applications. Specifically, this removes any opcodes used for writing files, and destroys the type checker, so it should not be used if this information is required in an application. The symbol tabls and the lexers are left intact.

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()
