Warning: Symbols prefixed with either RBIMPL or rbimpl are implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere anytime at will.

Note: To ruby-core: remember that this header can be possibly recursively included from extension libraries written in C++. Do not expect for instance __VA_ARGS__ is always available. We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of extension libraries. They could be written in C++98.

Function Documentation

◆ rb_cmperr()

void rb_cmperr	(	VALUE	a,
		VALUE	b
	)

Raises "comparison failed" error.

Parameters

[in]	a	Comparison LHS.
[in]	b	Comparison RHS.

Exceptions

rb_eArgError a and b are not comparable each other.

Definition at line 28 of file compar.c.

◆ rb_cmpint()

int rb_cmpint	(	VALUE	val,
		VALUE	a,
		VALUE	b
	)

Canonicalises the passed val, which is the return value of a <=> b, into C's {-1, 0, 1}.

This can be handy when you implement a callback function to pass to qsort(3) etc.
