G.f method
Summary
Returns #t if the second argument is less than the first.
Signature
< C-pointer-1 C-pointer-2 => boolean
Arguments
- c-pointer-1
- An instance of
<C-pointer>. - c-pointer-2
- An instance of
<C-pointer>.
Values
- boolean
- An instance of
<boolean>.

Description
Returns #t if the second argument is less than the first. This allows pointer comparison operations to be performed on instances of <C-pointer>.
Note that operations corresponding to C pointer arithmetic are not defined on <C-pointer>. If pointer arithmetic operations are required, use pointer-value with an index: argument.

The following functions comprise the conceptual foundation on which the pointer accessing protocol is based. In the signatures of these functions, byte-index is in terms of address units (typically bytes) and scaled-index is scaled by the size of the units involved. In the setters, new is the new value to which the value in the pointed-at location will be set. These functions can be used to deference any general instance of <C-pointer>.
