Function Name: Compare Property Data Values

Definition

When comparing:

integers, floats, and EAC enum values: normal mathematical rules apply

boolean to boolean: SE_FALSE is less than SE_TRUE

string to string: strcmp() rules apply

boolean to anything but a boolean: SE_FALSE is 0, SE_TRUE is 1, and a numeric comparison is used

string to anything but a string: the string is 0, and a numeric comparison is used

Returns

-1 if *a_ptr < *b_ptr
0 if *a_ptr == *b_ptr
1 if *a_ptr > *b_ptr

Prototype


extern int
SE_ComparePropertyDataValues
(
constSE_PROPERTY_DATA_VALUE *a_ptr, (notes)
constSE_PROPERTY_DATA_VALUE *b_ptr (notes)
);

Parameters Notes

a_ptr

 pointer to 1st SE_PROPERTY_DATA_VALUE to be compared

b_ptr

 pointer to 2nd SE_PROPERTY_DATA_VALUE to be compared
