Compare IGH_Goo objects / GH_Structure

Hi all,

I m trying to recognize changed input values to a generic parameter of my .gha.

This type of input gives me GH_Structure<IGH_Goo>, where I'm ultimately checking each data element to make sure it is the same.

Firstly - is there an elegant solution to check if two trees are the same? Note that I have to compare different objects (no shallow copies).

Secondly, in case 1. does not exist: How can I avoid the reflection of the type of the object in my IGH_Goo object? Reflection is just too expensive.

private bool isTreeDifferent(GH_Structure<IGH_Goo> tree1, GH_Structure<IGH_Goo> tree2)
{
bool isTreeDifferent = false;
if (tree1.DataCount != tree2.DataCount) isTreeDifferent = true;
else
{
for (int b = 0; b < tree1.DataCount; b++)
{
IGH_Goo el1 = tree2.ElementAt(b);
IGH_Goo el2 = tree1.ElementAt(b);
FieldInfo fi1 = el1.GetType().GetField("m_value", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
FieldInfo fi2 = el2.GetType().GetField("m_value", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
object o1 = fi1.GetValue(el1);
object o2 = fi2.GetValue(el2);
if (!o1.Equals(o2)) isTreeDifferent = true;

}
}
return isTreeDifferent;
}

This code works but is slow.

el1.Equals(el2) always yields 'false' .. Maybe this can be fixed in a future release, or a method 'GetValue' added to IGH_Goo..!?

Thanks a lot,

best

Rob
