However, I think this could be a nice and logical feature to have in GPC: Why, if we can assign a record to an other with ":=", cannot we test them for (in)equality afterwards?
This is something that has never been available under any standard Pascal. The reason is that records can have padding and alignment portions with uncontrolled content. So the only way to compare records is with specific code, that examines each field as needed.
The same thing applies to C structures.
