35 * @brief This class is the root class of %Tizen.
39 * The %Object class defines a set of behaviors and characteristics shared by all the other classes.
41 * The derived classes can override some of these methods, such as the Equals() method, which tests for object equivalence.
43 class _OSP_EXPORT_ Object
47 * This is the default constructor for this class.
54 * This is the destructor for this class.
58 virtual ~Object(void);
61 * Checks whether the value of the specified instance is equal to the value of the current instance of %Object.
65 * @return @c true if the value of the specified instance of %Object is equal to the value of the current instance of %Object, @n
67 * @param[in] obj An instance of %Object to compare
68 * @remarks The default implementation of this method returns @c true
69 * if the two instances have the same address. @n
70 * The method can be overridden to support value equality. Furthermore, this method must return the same result as the equality operator.
72 virtual bool Equals(const Object& obj) const;
75 * Gets the hash value of the current instance of %Object.
79 * @return An integer value indicating the hash value of the current instance of %Object
80 * @remarks Two equal instances must return the same hash value. For better performance,
81 * the used hash function must generate a random distribution for all inputs. @n
82 * The default implementation of this method returns the address of the current instance.
84 virtual int GetHashCode(void) const;
88 * This is the copy constructor for the %Object class.
90 * @param[in] obj An instance of %Object
92 Object(const Object& obj);
95 * Assigns the value of the specified instance to the current instance of %Object.
97 * @param[in] rhs An instance of %Object
99 Object& operator =(const Object& rhs);
102 // This method is for internal use only. Using this method can cause behavioral, security-related,
103 // and consistency-related issues in the application.
104 // This method is reserved and may change its name at any time without prior notice.
