    • displayDiff

      public boolean displayDiff(ElementDef _other, PrintWriter _out, int _indent)
      Description copied from class: ElementDef
      The displayDiff function compares this element definition against another, compiling a message containing all diffs. It is used internally by the equals(), diff(), and verifyEquals() functions.
      Overrides:
      displayDiff in class ElementDef
      Parameters:
      _other - the ElementDef to which to compare this element.
      _out - a PrintWriter to which to display any discovered differences, or null if just doing an equality check (and no diff report is needed).
      _indent - the current indentation level (used for nice display of diffs).
      Returns:
      true if this and other match exactly, false if not.
