Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TLocalObjectName::operator==

bool operator ==(const TLocalObjectName &) const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Returns true if the two TLocalObjectName objects on either side of the ==symbol have equal type and instance fields or if they have equal type fields and undefined instance fields.

Calling Context:

Called to test the equivalence of two objects. Call this function directly.

Parameters:

const TLocalObjectName & -The TLocalObjectName to compare to this object.

Return Value:

Returns true if both objects have equal type and instance fields or if they have equal type fields and undefined instance fields.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TLocalObjectName::Hash

long Hash () const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Returns a hash value for this TLocalObjectName.

Calling Context:

Called to obtain a hash value for this TLocalObjectName. Call this function directly.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

A hash value for this TLocalObjectName.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

Note that TLocalObjectName objects that have the same hash value are not necessarily equal.
