That's not what I see for the following:
int main()
{
boost::uuids::uuid id1, id2;
return memcmp( id1.data, id2.data, 16 );
}
even though uuid::data is uint8_t[16]. I see an assembly listing that is
virtually identical to the one you posted for _Equal, which is also just a
memcmp call:
inline bool __CLRCALL_OR_CDECL _Equal(const unsigned char *_First1,
const unsigned char *_Last1, const unsigned char *_First2,
random_access_iterator_tag, _Range_checked_iterator_tag)
{ // compare [_First1, _Last1) to [First2, ...), for unsigned chars
#if _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING
_DEBUG_RANGE(_First1, _Last1);
if (_First1 != _Last1)
_DEBUG_POINTER(_First2);
#endif /* _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING */
return (::memcmp(_First1, _First2, _Last1 - _First1) == 0);
}
I'm using VC++2005 though.
Although in both cases, the loop that is actually executed is identical to
the one you give above.
