PlatformObject INTERFACE

An interface used to mark a mapped platform type so that certain platform members can be implemented here. Useful when explicitly defining Object methods, such as toString(), which may have the same name as a member on platform Object. The explicitly defined methods can then call these methods.

These methods must not be implemented explicitly. The engine will automatically implement them when loading a type marked by this interface. For more information about its usage, see tutorial.

Methods

---

public bool pfEquals(Object val)

The delegating method to call equals(Object) defined on the platform class.

Parameters

• val The object to compare with. If the argument is not a mapped object this method will return false; otherwise it delegates that to the equals(Object) method defined on the platform class.

Returns

• True if the argument is considered equal to this one.

public int pfHashCode()

The delegating method to call hashcode() defined on the platform class.

Returns

• An integer calculated from the platform object.

public String pfToString()

The delegating method to call toString() defined on the platform class.

Returns

• The string representation of the platform object.
