Gee.Functions

Description:

Helpers for equal, hash and compare functions.

With those functions, you can retrieve the equal, hash and compare functions that best match your element, key or value types. Supported types are (non-boxed) primitive, string and Object types.

A special care is taken for classes inheriting from the Comparable interface. For such types, an appropriate compare function is returned that calls Comparable.compare_to.
