.. note::
Note the ABI definition above has no fixed order. It can change with compiler versions.
.. note::
Since the bytecode of the resulting contract contains the metadata hash, any change to
the metadata will result in a change of the bytecode. Furthermore, since the metadata
includes a hash of all the sources used, a single whitespace change in any of the source
codes will result in a different metadata, and subsequently a different bytecode.
