operator==,<=>(std::counted_iterator) - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

template< std::common_with<I> I2 > friend constexpr bool operator==( const counted_iterator& x, const counted_iterator<I2>& y ); (1) (since C++20)
template< std::common_with<I> I2 > friend constexpr strong_ordering operator<=>( const counted_iterator& x, const counted_iterator<I2>& y ); (2) (since C++20)

Compares the underlying lengths (i.e. distances to the end).

  1. Checks if the underlying lengths are equal.

  2. Compares the underlying lengths with operator <=>.

The behavior is undefined if x and y do not point to elements of the same sequence. That is, there must exist some n such that std::next(x.base(), x.count() + n) and std::next(y.base(), y.count() + n) refer to the same element.

The <, <=, >, >=, and != operators are synthesized from operator<=> and operator== respectively.

This function template is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std::counted_iterator is an associated class of the arguments.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

  1. x.count() == y.count()

  2. y.count() <=> x.count()

[edit] Notes

Since the length counts down, not up, the order of the arguments of operator<=> in the underlying comparison expression is reversed, i.e. y is lhs, x is rhs.

[edit] Example

#include #include   int main() { static constexpr auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; constexpr std::counted_iterator<std::initializer_list::iterator> it1{v.begin(), 5}, it2{v.begin(), 5}, it3{v.begin() + 1, 4}, it4{v.begin(), 0}; static_assert(it1 == it2); static_assert(it2 != it3); static_assert(it2 < it3); static_assert(it1 <= it2); static_assert(it3 != std::default_sentinel); static_assert(it4 == std::default_sentinel);   // it2 == std::counted_iterator{v.begin(), 4}; // UB: operands do not refer to // elements of the same sequence }
