Trait StableOrd 

pub trait StableOrd: Ord {
    const CAN_USE_UNSTABLE_SORT: bool;
    const THIS_IMPLEMENTATION_HAS_BEEN_TRIPLE_CHECKED: ();
}

Trait for marking a type as having a sort order that is stable across compilation session boundaries. More formally:

Ord::cmp(a1, b1) == Ord::cmp(a2, b2)
   where a2 = decode(encode(a1, context1), context2)
         b2 = decode(encode(b1, context1), context2)

i.e. the result of Ord::cmp is not influenced by encoding the values in one session and then decoding them in another session.

This is trivially true for types where encoding and decoding don’t change the bytes of the values that are used during comparison and comparison only depends on these bytes (as opposed to some non-local state). Examples are u32, String, Path, etc.

But it is not true for:

• *const T and *mut T because the values of these pointers will change between sessions.
• DefIndex, CrateNum, LocalDefId, because their concrete values depend on state that might be different between compilation sessions.

The associated constant CAN_USE_UNSTABLE_SORT denotes whether unstable sorting can be used for this type. Set to true if and only if a == b implies a and b are fully indistinguishable.

Required Associated Constants

const CAN_USE_UNSTABLE_SORT: bool

const THIS_IMPLEMENTATION_HAS_BEEN_TRIPLE_CHECKED: ()

Marker to ensure that implementors have carefully considered whether their Ord implementation obeys this trait’s contract.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
