NAME

std::experimental::ranges::equal_to - std::experimental::ranges::equal_to

Synopsis

Defined in header <experimental/ranges/functional>
template< class T = void >

requires EqualityComparable<T> ||
Same<T, void> || (ranges TS)
/* == on two const T lvalues invokes a built-in operator comparing
pointers */

struct equal_to;
template <> (ranges TS)
struct equal_to<void>;

Function object for performing comparisons. The primary template invokes operator ==
on const lvalues of type T. The specialization equal_to<void> deduces the parameter
types of the function call operator from the arguments (but not the return type).

All specializations of equal_to are Semiregular.

Member functions

operator() checks if the arguments are equal

std::experimental::ranges::equal_to::operator()

constexpr bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) (1) (member only of primary
const; equal_to<T> template)
template< class T, class U >

requires EqualityComparableWith<T, U> ||
/* std::declval<T>() == std::declval<U>() (2) (member only of equal_to<void>
resolves to specialization)
a built-in operator comparing pointers */

constexpr bool operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const;

1) Compares x and y. Equivalent to return ranges::equal_to<>{}(x, y);
2) Compares t and u, equivalent to return std::forward<T>(t) == std::forward<U>(u);,
except when that expression resolves to a call to a builtin operator == comparing
pointers.

When a call to (1) or (2) would invoke a built-in operator comparing pointers of
type P, the result is instead determined as follows:

* Returns false if one of the (possibly converted) value of the first argument and
the (possibly converted) value of the second argument precedes the other in the
implementation-defined strict total ordering over all pointer values of type P.
This strict total ordering is consistent with the partial order imposed by the
builtin operators <, >, <=, and >=.
* Otherwise (neither precedes the other), returns true.

The behavior is undefined unless the conversion sequences from both T and U to P are
equality-preserving (see below).

Equality preservation

An expression is equality preserving if it results in equal outputs given equal
inputs.

* The inputs to an expression consist of its operands.
* The outputs of an expression consist of its result and all operands modified by
the expression (if any).

Every expression required to be equality preserving is further required to be
stable: two evaluations of such an expression with the same input objects must have
equal outputs absent any explicit intervening modification of those input objects.

Notes

Unlike std::equal_to, ranges::equal_to requires both == and != to be valid (via the
EqualityComparable and EqualityComparableWith constraints).
