[postgis-devel] ST_OrderingEquals and memcmp

[Sandro Santilli]

I was reading the implementation of ST_OrderingEquals and wondered
why we're not using memcmp on the serialized memory.

Saint testsuite revealed it can sometime fail.
I guess the reason for that is some "holes" in the serialized format
left for alignment purpose, does it sound correct ?

Could we ensure serializers fill any hole to speedup identity checking ?
