Call signature | ||
template< class T, class U > requires /* see below */ constexpr std::weak_ordering compare_weak_order_fallback(T&& t, U&& u) noexcept(/* see below */); |
Performs three-way comparison on t
and u
and produces a result of type std::weak_ordering
, even if the operator <=>
is unavailable.
Let t
and u
be expressions and T
and U
denote decltype((t))
and decltype((u))
respectively, std::compare_weak_order_fallback(t, u)
is expression-equivalent to:
- If
std::is_same_v<std::decay_t<T>, std::decay_t<U>>
istrue
:-
std::weak_order(t, u)
, if it is a well-formed expression; - otherwise,
-
t == u ? std::weak_ordering::equivalent : t < u ? std::weak_ordering::less : std::weak_ordering::greater
t == u
and
t < u
are both well-formed and convertible to
bool
, except that
t
and
u
are evaluated only once.
- In all other cases,
std::compare_weak_order_fallback(t, u)
is ill-formed, which can result in substitution failure when it appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.
Expression-equivalent
Expression e
is expression-equivalent to expression f
, if.
-
e
andf
have the same effects, and - either both are constant subexpressions or else neither is a constant subexpression, and
- either both are potentially-throwing or else neither is potentially-throwing (i.e.
noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)
).
Customization point objects
The name std::compare_weak_order_fallback
denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular
class type. For exposition purposes, the cv-unqualified version of its type is denoted as __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn
.
All instances of __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn
are equal. The effects of invoking different instances of type __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn
on the same arguments are equivalent, regardless of whether the expression denoting the instance is an lvalue or rvalue, and is const-qualified or not (however, a volatile-qualified instance is not required to be invocable). Thus, std::compare_weak_order_fallback
can be copied freely and its copies can be used interchangeably.
Given a set of types Args...
, if std::declval<Args>()...
meet the requirements for arguments to std::compare_weak_order_fallback
above, __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn
models
.
-
std::invocable<__compare_weak_order_fallback_fn, Args...>
, -
std::invocable<const __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn, Args...>
, -
std::invocable<__compare_weak_order_fallback_fn&, Args...>
, and -
std::invocable<const __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn&, Args...>
.
Otherwise, no function call operator of __compare_weak_order_fallback_fn
participates in overload resolution.
Example
#include <iostream> #include <compare> // does not support <=> struct Rational_1 { int num; int den; // > 0 }; inline constexpr bool operator<(Rational_1 lhs, Rational_1 rhs) { return lhs.num * rhs.den < rhs.num * lhs.den; } inline constexpr bool operator==(Rational_1 lhs, Rational_1 rhs) { return lhs.num * rhs.den == rhs.num * lhs.den; } // supports <=> struct Rational_2 { int num; int den; // > 0 bool operator==(Rational_2 const&) const = default; }; inline constexpr std::weak_ordering operator<=>(Rational_2 lhs, Rational_2 rhs) { return lhs.num * rhs.den <=> rhs.num * lhs.den; } void print(std::weak_ordering value) { if (value == 0) std::cout << "equal\n"; else if (value < 0) std::cout << "less\n"; else std::cout << "greater\n"; } int main() { Rational_1 a{1, 2}; Rational_1 b{3, 4}; // print(a <=> b); // doesn't work print(std::compare_weak_order_fallback(a, b)); // works, defaults to < and == Rational_2 c{6, 5}; Rational_2 d{8, 7}; print(c <=> d); // works print(std::compare_weak_order_fallback(c, d)); // works }
Output:
