identical function

bool identical(
  1. Object? a,
  2. Object? b
)

Check whether two references are to the same object.

Example:

var o = new Object();
var isIdentical = identical(o, new Object()); // false, different objects.
isIdentical = identical(o, o); // true, same object
isIdentical = identical(const Object(), const Object()); // true, const canonicalizes
isIdentical = identical([1], [1]); // false
isIdentical = identical(const [1], const [1]); // true
isIdentical = identical(const [1], const [2]); // false
isIdentical = identical(2, 1 + 1); // true, integers canonicalizes

Implementation

external bool identical(Object? a, Object? b);
