      • displayDiff

        public boolean displayDiff​(ElementDef _other,
                                   java.io.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.
