Description

Currently cmp(a,b) for two real-interval field elements performs a lexicographic comparison. And rich comparison has a different semantic.

We rename _cmp_ to lexico_cmp to put it outside the comparison framework. This means that cmp will not work anymore. The documentation is modified accordingly, to warn users not to use cmp at all on these objects.

Helpful for the major ticket #22297

Do we need lexico_cmp at all or could we simply delete it?

well, lexico_cmp is useful to check that pickling works. And if somebody did use cmp, it could serve as a replacement

Ok, fine for me.

As cmp is removed, do we need a deprecation warning for this?

Apart from the question above and modulo a successful run of a patchbot, this patch looks good.

comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by chapoton

Hmm, trying to introduce a deprecation seems to uncover some problems with QQbar. Investigating, maybe in relation with #18303
