== Why is this an issue?
When a type implements `Borrow<T>`, it should provide consistent behavior between the borrowed and owned values, especially regarding `Eq`, `Ord`, and `Hash`. However, `str` and `[u8]` have different Hash implementations, leading to inconsistent hash values for the same underlying data when accessed through different Borrow implementations. This violates the principle that `hash(x) == hash((x as Borrow<[u8]>).borrow()) == hash((x as Borrow<str>).borrow())` must hold, and can cause issues with hash-based collections and comparisons.
=== Code examples
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,rust]
----
use std::borrow::Borrow;
use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};
struct ExampleType {
data: String,
}
impl Hash for ExampleType {
fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H) {
self.data.hash(state); // Noncompliant: Inconsistent Hash
}
}
impl Borrow<str> for ExampleType {
fn borrow(&self) -> &str {
&self.data
}
}
impl Borrow<[u8]> for ExampleType {
fn borrow(&self) -> &[u8] {
self.data.as_bytes()
}
}
