constSE_Count_Interval_Value *b_ptr (notes)
);

Definition

Compares two SE_Count_Interval_Value types.

The comparison compares lower bounds, then uses upper bounds to break any ties ( see EDCS_CompareCountIntervals ). If the lower bound and upper bound values match, closed bounds are considered less than open bounds.


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_Count_Interval_Value to be compared

b_ptr

 pointer to 2nd SE_Count_Interval_Value to be compared
