pub trait Eq: PartialEq { }

Expand description

Trait for comparisons corresponding to equivalence relations.

This means, that in addition to a == b and a != b being strict inverses, the relation must be (for all a, b and c):

reflexive: a == a;
symmetric: a == b implies b == a (required by PartialEq as well); and
transitive: a == b and b == c implies a == c (required by PartialEq as well).

This property cannot be checked by the compiler, and therefore Eq implies PartialEq, and has no extra methods.

Violating this property is a logic error. The behavior resulting from a logic error is not specified, but users of the trait must ensure that such logic errors do not result in undefined behavior. This means that unsafe code must not rely on the correctness of these methods.

Implement Eq in addition to PartialEq if it’s guaranteed that PartialEq::eq(a, a) always returns true (reflexivity), in addition to the symmetric and transitive properties already required by PartialEq.

§Derivable

This trait can be used with #[derive]. When derived, because Eq has no extra methods, it is only informing the compiler that this is an equivalence relation rather than a partial equivalence relation. Note that the derive strategy requires all fields are Eq, which isn’t always desired.

§How can I implement `Eq`?

If you cannot use the derive strategy, specify that your type implements Eq, which has no methods:

enum BookFormat { Paperback, Hardback, Ebook }
struct Book {
    isbn: i32,
    format: BookFormat,
}
impl PartialEq for Book {
    fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
        self.isbn == other.isbn
    }
}
impl Eq for Book {}
