TypeCode equal

This function compares two TypeCodes for equality.

Syntax

TypeCode         tc;
Environment     *env;
TypeCode         tc2;
boolean          rc;

rc = TypeCode_equal(tc, env, tc2);

Parameters

tc (TypeCode)

One of the TypeCodes to be compared.

env (Environment *)

A pointer to an Environment structure. The CORBA standard mandates the use of this structure as a standard way to return exception information when an error condition is detected.

tc2 (TypeCode)

The other TypeCode to be compared.

Returns

rc (boolean)

Returns TRUE (1) if the TypeCodes tc and tc2 describe the same data type, with the same alignment. Otherwise, FALSE (0) is returned. No exceptions are raised by this function.

Remarks

The TypeCode_equal function can be used to determine if two distinct TypeCodes describe the same underlying abstract data type.
