[rdnzl-devel] C# pointer comparison.

[Matthew O'Connor]

I am just beginning to discover the numerous different types of 
equals within Common Lisp so I can't comment on them. I can probably 
comment on the C# ones however.

I think that by default '==' will default to the 'Equals' function. 
In C# however you can overload the '==' operator and make it work 
differently. An example of this might be an primary key comparison 
on objects stored in a database table. So you make '==' look at 
the key slot and return true or false based on this equality.

So I think the short answer is for the default behaviour they are
exactly the same but you can overload the operator at which point
they will be different.

Cheers,

Matthew
