It is sometimes just fine to have a hash table with pointers as keys. It is by design an unordered collection, so you do not care about the order, only about finding entries.
Then at some point you happen to need all the entries, you iterate, and you get a random order. Which is not necessarily a problem unless you want reproducible builds, which is just a new requirement, not exposing a latent bug.
