Ben Harkins commented on ARROW-6772: ------------------------------------ I'm currently working on this one - planning on adding {{util::EqualityComparable}} to {{{}DataType{}}}, {{{}Field{}}}, and {{{}FieldRef{}}}. Should additional comparison tests be added (in addition to AssertXXXEqual) to type_test.cc or would that be considered redundant? > [C++] Add operator== for interfaces with an Equals() method > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-6772 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6772 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ > Reporter: Ben Kietzman > Assignee: Ben Harkins > Priority: Major > Labels: good-first-issue > > A common pattern in tests is {{ASSERT_TRUE(schm->Equals(*other)}}. The > addition of overloaded equality operators will allow this o be written > {{ASSERT_EQ(*schm, *other)}}, which is more idiomatic GTEST usage and will > allow more informative assertion failure messages. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
