CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Minor typo fixed.

Reverse merged revision(s) 4122-4121 from branches/parsnip:

Removed TBaseComparator<T> class and reverted rest of code back to state before this change was made at revision 4121. This is because the implementation of the new TBaseComparator<T>.ConstructRules is very buggy and I can't find a fix.

Removed unnecessary interface references from class definitions.

Added new TBaseComparator<T> abstract base class for all comparator objects that must be able to construct a TRules<T> record that uses the comparator to supply the required IComparator<T> and IEqualityComparator<T> instances.

Changed all other comparer classes in unit to derive either directly or indirectly from TBaseComparator<T>.

Removed string comparer classes that have been made redundant by TStringComparator and TTextComparator.

Added new TStringComparator and TTextComparator classes.
Added missing override directives to some methods of TDelegatedComparator.

Added new IComparator<T> interface and TComparator<T> and TDelegatedComparator<T> implementations.

Added new StrHash and TextHash functions to CS.Utils.Hashes that call PaulLarsonHash for case sensitive and case insensitive string hashes respectively. Removed PaulLarsonHash from interface section.

Modified calling code to use StrHash or TextHash as appropriate to context.

Modified to use PaulLarsonHash from CS.Utils.Hashes instead of ElfHash for string hashes.

Recreated "parsnip" (v5 development) branch by branching trunk just after updating it with changes in v4.7.1.
