Detailed Description

An address belongs to another object, determined by the GncOwner. It is the owner that assigns a name and identifier to the address. In effect, an address is just a building - to make it useful to GnuCash, it needs to be tied to a person. After all, you cannot invoice a building, you invoice a person working / living in the building.

QOF needs to handle all objects generically and to tie the address to an owner, QOF must be able to find each - as entities.

This allows QOF to follow the hierarchy of objects without having to call any application-specific routines.

To achieve this, new GncAddress routines have been added. An address is now created with a NULL parent and the parent set explicitly using the QOF object declaration. Whilst this adds functionality, it is important that a valid GncOwner entity is always set as a parent. This is an API issue - QOF will always set the parent provided that a suitable entity is passed to the qofAddressSetOwner routine. It is up to you to pass a suitable entity.

Function Documentation

int gncAddressCompare	(	const GncAddress *	a,
		const GncAddress *	b
	)

compare two addresses

Returns:

0 if identical, -1 if a is empty or less than b and +1 if a is more than b or if b is empty.

Definition at line 563 of file gncAddress.c.

{
    if (!a && !b) return 0;
    if (!a && b) return 1;
    if (a && !b) return -1;

    return safe_strcmp (a->name, b->name);
}

gboolean gncAddressEqual	(	const GncAddress *	a,
		const GncAddress *	b
	)

Deeply compare two addresses.

Returns:

TRUE if all fields match, FALSE otherwise
