std::compare_strong_order_fallback - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| Defined in header | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | inline namespace /* unspecified */ { inline constexpr /* unspecified */ compare_strong_order_fallback = /* unspecified */; } | | (since C++20) | | Call signature | | | | template< class T, class U > requires /* see below */ constexpr std::strong_ordering compare_strong_order_fallback( T&& t, U&& u ) noexcept(/* see below */); | | (since C++20) |

Performs three-way comparison on subexpressions t and u and produces a result of type std::strong_ordering, even if the operator <=> is unavailable.

If std::decay_t<T> and std::decay_t<U> are the same type, std::compare_strong_order_fallback(t, u) is expression-equivalent to:

• std::strong_order(t, u), if it is a well-formed expression;
• otherwise, t == u ? std::strong_ordering::equal :
  t < u ? std::strong_ordering::less :
  std::strong_ordering::greater

if the expressions t == u and t < u are both well-formed and each of decltype(t == u) and decltype(t < u) models boolean-testable, except that t and u are evaluated only once.

In all other cases, std::compare_strong_order_fallback(t, u) is ill-formed, which can result in substitution failure when it appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

Customization point objects

The name std::compare_strong_order_fallback denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. See CustomizationPointObject for details.
