MemCompare

See Also: Memory Management Functions

Purpose

Compares the contents of two memory blocks.

Return Type

Boolean

Syntax

(MemCompare({pMemBlock1}, {pMemBlock2}, {iBytes}))

Parameters

• {pMemBlock1} and {pMemBlock2}: Pointers to memory blocks.
• {iBytes}: The number of bytes to compare.

What It Does

MemCompare returns zero if the two memory blocks are equal and nonzero if the memory blocks are unequal. Use of MemCompare with invalid parameters will likely crash your program.

Example

Function AreBlocksEqual Pointer a1 Pointer a2 Integer iBytes Returns Boolean
    Boolean bRetVal
    Move (MemCompare(a1, a2, iBytes)) to bRetVal
    If (bRetVal = 0) 
        Function_Return 1
    Else 
        Function_Return 0
    End_Function
