Macros
#define	B2_IS_NULL(id) (id.index1 == 0)
	Macro to determine if any id is null.

#define	B2_IS_NON_NULL(id) (id.index1 != 0)
	Macro to determine if any id is non-null.

#define	B2_ID_EQUALS(id1, id2) (id1.index1 == id2.index1 && id1.world0 == id2.world0 && id1.revision == id2.revision)
	Compare two ids for equality. Doesn't work for b2WorldId.

Detailed Description

These ids serve as handles to internal Box2D objects.

These should be considered opaque data and passed by value. Include this header if you need the id types and not the whole Box2D API. All ids are considered null if initialized to zero.

For example in C++:

b2WorldId worldId = {};

b2WorldId

World id references a world instance. This should be treated as an opaque handle.

Definition id.h:37

Or in C:

b2WorldId worldId = {0};

These are both considered null.

Warning: You should use ids to access objects in Box2D. Do not access files within the src folder. Such usage is unsupported.
