Not sure what you are meaning to do but, if you take a look at the get_comment_class()
function that is responsible for generating the .bypostauthor
class you can see how it determines if the commenter is the author
if ( $post = get_post($post_id) ) {
if ( $comment->user_id === $post->post_author )
$classes[] = 'bypostauthor';
}
You should be able to use this to do something similar.
