Hi,

I have an array of bytes like

 Byte m_Data[] = new Byte[2000] ;

Byte sequences starting at a random index (4 byte aligned) should be
interpreted as unsigned long values and compared with each other.

My first try was

 if ( reinterpret_cast<UInt32*>(&m_Data[20])    ==
      reinterpret_cast<UInt32*>(&m_Data[104])         )
   { ... }

but the results were not always as expected (guess due to the == operator
handling the pointers).

The second try was

 __value UInt32* a = reinterpret_cast<__value UInt32*>(&m_Data[20] ) ;
 __value UInt32* b = reinterpret_cast<__value UInt32*>(&m_Data[104]) ;

 if ( *a == *b )
   { ... }

That seems to work, but I dislike the need of extra variables (due to
performance reasons).

Has someone a really good idea about that?

Thanks

Carl
