I wanna search for two adjacent pointers that point to the same value, but not the same address. Is there a builtin tool in CE to do it?

For instance:
Code:
(long *)0x00000001 -> 0x00000009 = 123
(long *)0x00000005 -> 0x0000000D = 123

Do a pointerscan for each of the two addresses.

Not really.

at best a customtype that dereferences pointers and use that in a groupscan (slow)

Code:

--Note: keep the function base name unique.
typename="32-bit Pointer type" --shown as the typename in ce
bytecount=4  --number of bytes of this type
functionbasename="customvaluetype"

function customvaluetype_bytestovalue(b1,b2,b3,b4,address)
--Add extra byte parameters as required
  local v=byteTableToDword({b1,b2,b3,b4})

  return readInteger(v)
end

function customvaluetype_valuetobytes(i,address)
  error('not implemented')
end
return typename,bytecount,functionbasename


with groupscan:
Code:

c(32-bit Pointer type):123 c(32-bit Pointer type):123


(if it's a 64-bit target, adjust the custom type accordingly)
