70/// Generates the equality expression for a struct or enum variant when deriving
71/// `PartialEq`.
72///
73/// This function generates an expression that checks if all fields of a struct
74/// or enum variant are equal.
75/// - Scalar fields are compared first for efficiency, followed by compound
76///   fields.
77/// - If there are no fields, returns `true` (fieldless types are always equal).
78///
79/// Whether a field is considered "scalar" is determined by comparing the symbol
80/// of its type to a set of known scalar type symbols (e.g., `i32`, `u8`, etc).
81/// This check is based on the type's symbol.
82///
83/// ### Example 1
84/// ```
85/// #[derive(PartialEq)]
86/// struct i32;
87///
88/// // Here, `field_2` is of type `i32`, but since it's a user-defined type (not
89/// // the primitive), it will not be treated as scalar. The function will still
90/// // check equality of `field_2` first because the symbol matches `i32`.
91/// #[derive(PartialEq)]
92/// struct Struct {
93///     field_1: &'static str,
94///     field_2: i32,
95/// }
96/// ```
97///
98/// ### Example 2
99/// ```
100/// mod ty {
101///     pub type i32 = i32;
102/// }
103///
104/// // Here, `field_2` is of type `ty::i32`, which is a type alias for `i32`.
105/// // However, the function will not reorder the fields because the symbol for
106/// // `ty::i32` does not match the symbol for the primitive `i32`
107/// // ("ty::i32" != "i32").
108/// #[derive(PartialEq)]
109/// struct Struct {
110///     field_1: &'static str,
111///     field_2: ty::i32,
112/// }
113/// ```
114///
115/// For enums, the discriminant is compared first, then the rest of the fields.
116///
117/// # Panics
118///
119/// If called on static or all-fieldless enums/structs, which should not occur
120/// during derive expansion.
