NAME

SPVM::Comparator - a callback type for comparation

SYNOPSYS

  use SPVM::Comparator;
  
  my $comparator : SPVM::Comparator = sub : int ($self : self, $obj1 : object, $obj2 : object); {
    my $point1 = (SPVM::Point)$obj1;
    my $point2 = (SPVM::Point)$obj2;
    
    if ($point1->x > $point2->x) {
      return 1;
    }
    elsif ($point1->x < $point2->x) {
      return -1;
    }
    else {
      return 0;
    }
  };
  
  my $point1 = SPVM::Point->new(1, 2);
  my $point2 = SPVM::Point->new(5, 6);
  my $result = $comparator->($point1, $point2);

DESCRIPTION

SPVM::Comparator is a callback type to compare objects.

CALLBACK METHOD

  sub : int ($self : self, $obj1 : object, $obj2 : object);

This method should receive two objects and return 1 if $obj1 is more than $obj2, -1 if $x is lass than $obj2, 0 if $obj1 equals $obj2 in the implementation.
