MQL5

  1. Added new function ArrayCompare:

    int ArrayCompare(const void &src1[],const void &src2[],uint start1=0,uint start2=0,uint count=WHOLE_ARRAY);

    Compared are arrays of simple types or custom structures without complex objects (strings, dynamic arrays, classes or other structures with complex objects). This function works only with arrays of the same type src1 and src2. When src1 is of type char and src2 is of type uchar, the error 302 "type mismatch" will occur.

  2. Added the CHART_IS_OBJECT chart property (for the ChartGetInteger function) - it indicates that a chart is the "Chart" graphic object.
  3. Added the CHART_MOUSE_SCROLL chart property (for the ChartGetInteger and ChartSetInteger functions) - it enables/disables scrolling of chart using a mouse. This property can be used when implementing graphical user interface in MQL5 programs.
  4. Fixed an error that in some cases led to a stack overflow during MQL5 programs execution.
  5. Changed OpenCL benchmark system: when OpenCL device(s) configuration is changed (including at the first run), terminal runs a test that determines device(s) performance and stores information in the registry.

    To automatically select the most efficient device, call the function of creating OpenCL context and specify CL_USE_ANY as the device number.

  6. Fixed the 'invalid EX5' message when using template functions.
