std::experimental::ranges::equal_to - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header <experimental/ranges/functional>
template< class T = void > requires EqualityComparable<T> | Same<T, void> /* == on two const T lvalues invokes a built-in operator comparing pointers */ struct equal_to;
template<> struct equal_to<void>; (ranges TS)

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.

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

constexpr bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const; (1) (member only of primary equal_to template)
template< class T, class U > requires EqualityComparableWith<T, U> | /* std::declval() == std::declval() resolves to a built-in operator comparing pointers */ constexpr bool operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const; (2)
  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:

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

[edit] Equality preservation

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

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.

[edit] Notes

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