std::ranges::greater_equal

Defined in header <functional>
struct greater_equal;
(since C++20)

Function object for performing comparisons. Deduces the parameter types of the function call operator from the arguments (but not the return type).

Implementation-defined strict total order over pointers

The function call operator yields the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers if the < operator between arguments invokes a built-in comparison operator for a pointer, even if the built-in < operator does not.

The implementation-defined strict total order is consistent with the partial order imposed by built-in comparison operators (<=>, <, >, <=, and >=), and consistent among following standard function objects:

Member types

Member type Definition
is_transparent /* unspecified */

Member functions

operator()
checks if the first argument is greater than or equal to the second
(public member function)

std::ranges::greater_equal::operator()

template< class T, class U >
    requires std::totally_ordered_with<T, U> // with different semantic requirements
constexpr bool operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const;

Compares t and u. Equivalent to return !ranges::less{}(std::forward<T>(t), std::forward<U>(u));.

Notes

Unlike std::greater_equal, std::ranges::greater_equal requires all six comparison operators <, <=, >, >=, == and != to be valid (via the totally_ordered_with constraint) and is entirely defined in terms of std::ranges::less.
