Hi everybody!

Here I have some doubts regarding record comparisions done in ADA.

Read this code sample:

type REC_TYPE;
type REC_PTR_TYPE is access REC_TYPE;
type REC_TYPE is
     record
	INT1 : INTEGER;
        INT2 : INTEGER;
     end record;

-- now I declare two variables of REC_PTR_TYPE
REC_PTR1, REC_PTR2 : REC_PTR_TYPE;

-- then, assign some values to the record members of 
-- REC_PTR1, REC_PTR2.
....

-- now I say:
if REC_PTR1 < REC_PTR2 then
	-- do so and so ..
end if;

What is this signify ?
Does it mean that REC_PTR1.INT1 < REC_PTR2.INT1 or else ?

Please clarify.

Thanks in advance!
