Squirrel

Hi,
I've noticed that SquirrelObject doesn't contain a comparison operator so I was thinking of implementing the following code for easier object comparisons in C++. It makes use of sq_cmp to do the comparison.

bool & SquirrelObject::operator ==(SquirrelObject &o)
{
    bool cmp = false;
    int oldtop = sq_gettop(hSquirrelVM);
    sq_pushroottable(hSquirrelVM);
    sq_pushobject(hSquirrelVM, GetObjectHandle());
    sq_pushobject(hSquirrelVM, o.GetObjectHandle());
    if(sq_cmp(hSquirrelVM) == 0)
        cmp = true;
   
    sq_settop(hSquirrelVM, oldtop);
    return cmp;
}

Is there a reason why this feature wasn't included in the first place?

Hello,

That's a useul addition. I added the function to the SqPlus review version (see previous post)

Great :)

Another function that might be useful to add is ComparePointer.
That way, users could specify whether that they just want to compare the reference pointer and not the value.

bool ComparePointer( const SquirrelObject &o )
{
    if( this->GetObjectHandle()._type == o.GetObjectHandle()._type )
        if( this->GetObjectHandle()._unVal.pUserPointer == o.GetObjectHandle()._unVal.pUserPointer )
            return true;

    return false;
}
