Re: [julia-users] custom type equality

[Marcus Appelros]

For a generic solution that works on all new types you can create a common 
ancestor and define

function ==(a::Ancestor, b::Ancestor)
   if isa(a,typeof(b)
      na=names(a)
      for n in 1:length(na) 
         if getfield(a,na[n])!=getfield(b,na[n])
            return false
         end
      end
      return true
   end
   return false
end
