Which definitely seems inherently broken. Doing that only works if the struct only contains integral types, character types, or bool. Nothing else will compare properly that way. It really needs to work like arrays do (or are supposed to anyway) and compare each member according to == and only fallback to an outright bitwise compare when it knows that the results would be identical (i.e. because all of the members are integral types, character types, bool, or other structs which hold only integral types, character types, or bool - be it directly or in other structs that they hold). Bitwise comparison is the is operator's job, not ==. - Jonathan M Davis
