Member Function Documentation

virtual BGString BGSocket::toString () [virtual]

Generates string representation of this object.

This is useful for logging, etc. - This method will replace dump !

Returns:
Stringrepresentation of this object

Reimplemented from BGObject.

virtual unsigned long BGSocket::hash () [virtual]

Generates a 'unique' hashvalue of this object.

Note: The returned pointer will point to class buffer. Therefore do not delete it, dupe it if you need it outside of instance lifecycle.

Returns:
Hash of this object

Reimplemented from BGObject.

virtual bool BGSocket::equals (BGObject & obj) [virtual]

Returns true, if specified object is equal to own instance.

First we compare class identifier. If both object has same class type, we dispatch to compare method, which should always be able to compare instances with same type.

Parameters:
obj   Object reference to compare with us
Returns:
True, if object is equal to own instance

Reimplemented from BGObject.

virtual BGString BGSocket::className () [virtual]

Return the class name for this class.

Subclasses should overwrite this method to return their own name.

Reimplemented from BGObject.
