Easy way to compare arrays?

I tried

const array: f64[] = [20.0,30.0,0,0,0,0]
expect<f64[]>(array).toBe([20.0,30.0,0,0,0,0])

which may not even be the same types of array, but I realized that this compares them by reference (obviously it would fail).

Is there an API to easily compare arrays? Or should I loop on the indexes and use expect on each value for now?

I haven’t closed this issue because I want to enable array of references comparisons.

Since we cannot get the programmatic offset of the child type, we cannot use memcompare because we need the size of the block. We can only opt into block comparisons for strings and array buffers and access their size at runtime. This will be supported in the 1.1.0 release.

Once typeof support exists in the compiler, we will enable regular reference comparisons.

In 1.1.0 they will default to == comparisons, which can be overridden using @operator("=="). This does not help people who want to use portable code, but aspect is burgeoning and I don’t mind enabling support for this later.

I’m still fumbling around, f.e. https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript/issues/645
