Expand description
Derives optimized PartialEq and Eq implementations.
This derive can be applied to structs and enums implementing both
Immutable and IntoBytes; e.g.:
#[derive(ByteEq, Immutable, IntoBytes)]
#[repr(C)]
struct MyStruct {
...
}
#[derive(ByteEq, Immutable, IntoBytes)]
#[repr(u8)]
enum MyEnum {
...
}The standard library’s derive(Eq, PartialEq) computes
equality by individually comparing each field. Instead, the implementation
of PartialEq::eq emitted by derive(ByteHash) converts the entirety of
self and other to byte slices and compares those slices for equality.
This may have performance advantages.
