#include <FileConstants.au3>

;It's all OK with FileRead, the binary result gets stored in proper format
Global $hFile = FileOpen("File.dat", BitOR($FO_READ, $FO_BINARY))
Global $bData = FileRead($hFile, 8)
FileClose($hFile)
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($bData) & @TAB & ":" & @TAB & $bData & @CRLF)

;It's not what I want at all
Global Const $iSignature = 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($iSignature) & @TAB & ":" & @TAB & $iSignature & @CRLF)

;But here, it's amazing!!!
Global Const $bSignature = Binary(0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF)
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($bSignature) & @TAB & ":" & @TAB & $bSignature & @CRLF & @CRLF)

;I need $bSignature to be 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF, and not 0xEFBEADDEEFBEADDE
;And of course I want its type to be Binary
;So I can test its equality with $bData in binary mode
ConsoleWrite("Invalid" & @TAB & ":" & @TAB & BitXOR($bData, $bSignature) & @CRLF)
;It's somehow odd, as both $bData and $bSignature are 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF

;The result should be like this
Global Const $bOddSignature = Binary(0xEFBEADDEEFBEADDE)
ConsoleWrite("Valid" & @TAB & ":" & @TAB & BitXOR($bData, $bOddSignature) & @CRLF) ;0 means they are equal

I have attached the file I'm reading in the above code (File.dat):

Perhaps this behavior should be described somewhere in the help.

Not sure it is

; Integer type as hexidecimal number cast to binary
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType(0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF)  & @CRLF) ; = Int64
ConsoleWrite(0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF & @CRLF) ; = -2401053088876216593

ConsoleWrite(Binary(-2401053088876216593) & @CRLF) ; = 0xEFBEADDEEFBEADDE

; String type as string expression cast to binary
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType('0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF') & @CRLF) ; = String
ConsoleWrite('0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF' & @CRLF) ; = 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF
ConsoleWrite(Binary('0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF') & @CRLF) ; = 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF

-2401053088876216593 to type binary. Not a good expression. :)

I think it should - as any non logical behaviour should be documented. Otherwise its too close to bug.

I mean 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF is valid expression

It IS perfectly logical behavior, unless you ignore the endianness of Intel processors (in which case you probably should keep away from messing up with anything binary).

Does it?

Global $bData1 = Binary(0x1234)
Global $bData2 = Binary("0x1234")

ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($bData1) & " : " & $bData1 & @CRLF) ;Binary : 0x34120000
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($bData2) & " : " & $bData2 & @CRLF) ;Binary : 0x1234

ConsoleWrite(BitXOR($bData1, $bData2) & @CRLF) ;Returns 9766
;BitXOR returns 0 for two equal binary value

This is a correct behavior! 0x1234 will be converted to 4660 integer. This is documented in helpfile under "Language Reference -> Datatypes". And jchd tells you the answer why its swapped (endians from intel processors)

$bData1 = Binary(0x1234);0x1234 = 4660 --> int
$bData2 = Binary(4660);is the same --> int
$bData3 = Binary("4660");"4660" -> ASCII (0x34 + 0x36 + 0x36 + 0x30)
$bData4 = Binary("0x1234"); = ASCII: DC2 and 4 characters (--> see SciTe console)

ConsoleWrite($bData1 & @LF)
ConsoleWrite($bData2 & @LF)
ConsoleWrite($bData3 & @LF)
ConsoleWrite($bData4 & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString($bData4) & @LF)
