Attributes

comparison_attrs [R]

All attributes used for equality and hash methods.

Public Class methods

attr_reader(*args)

Expression objects are assumed to be value objects, where their attribute values can’t change after assignment. In order to make it easy to define equality and hash methods, subclass instances assume that the only values that affect the results of such methods are the values of the object’s attributes.

[show source] 
   # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
92 def attr_reader(*args)
93   super
94   comparison_attrs.concat(args)
95 end
inherited(subclass)

Copy the comparison_attrs into the subclass.

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
 98 def inherited(subclass)
 99   super
100   subclass.instance_variable_set(:@comparison_attrs, comparison_attrs.dup)
101 end

Public Instance methods

==(other)

Alias of eql?

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
125 def ==(other)
126   eql?(other)
127 end
clone()

Make clone/dup return self, since Expression objects are supposed to be frozen value objects

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
119 def clone
120   self
121 end
eql?(other)

Returns true if the receiver is the same expression as the the other expression.

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
131 def eql?(other)
132   other.is_a?(self.class) && !self.class.comparison_attrs.find{|a| public_send(a) != other.public_send(a)}
133 end
hash()

Make sure that the hash value is the same if the attributes are the same.

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
136 def hash
137   ([self.class] + self.class.comparison_attrs.map{|x| public_send(x)}).hash
138 end
inspect()

Show the class name and instance variables for the object.

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb
141 def inspect
142   "#<#{self.class} #{instance_variables.map{|iv| "#{iv}=>#{instance_variable_get(iv).inspect}"}.join(', ')}>"
143 end
