Description
I tried this code:
pub struct A<T> { pub v: T }
pub struct B<T> { pub v: T }
pub mod test {
pub struct A<T> { pub v: T }
impl<T> A<T> {
pub fn foo(&self) -> isize {
static a: isize = 5;
return a
}
pub fn bar(&self) -> isize {
static a: isize = 6;
return a;
}
}
}
rustc inner_static.rs --emit=mir --crate-type lib -o out -Zthreads=60 ; md5sum out
I expected to see this happen: explanation
equal md5s
Instead, this happened: explanation
different md5s

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the provided rustc command, --emit=mir, and -Zthreads=60, then inspect how MIR allocation IDs are assigned during parallel compilation. Compare repeated outputs and the shown MIR diff. Done means identical output, including stable alloc IDs, across repeated runs.
