Definition

When comparing:

integers, floats: normal mathematical rules apply

EEs, EMs: underlying compare functions for those codes apply

boolean to boolean: FALSE is less than TRUE

string to string: strcmp() rules apply

boolean to anything but a boolean: FALSE is 0, TRUE is 1, and a numeric comparison is used

string to anything but a string: the string is 0, and a numeric comparison is used


Returns

-1 if *a_ptr < *b_ptr
0 if *a_ptr == *b_ptr
1 if *a_ptr > *b_ptr


Parameters Notes


a_ptr

 pointer to 1st SE_Property_Data_Value to be compared

b_ptr

 pointer to 2nd SE_Property_Data_Value to be compared
