The concept Compare is a set of requirements expected by some of the standard library facilities from the user-provided function object types.
The return value of the function call operation applied to an object of type Compare, when contextually converted to bool, yields true if the first argument of the call appears before the second in the strict weak ordering relation induced by this Compare type, and false otherwise.
As with any BinaryPredicate, evaluation of that expression is not allowed to call non-const member functions of the dereferenced iterators.
Requirements
The type T satisfies Compare if.
- The type
TsatisfiesBinaryPredicate, and
Given.
-
comp, an object of typeCompare -
equiv(a, b), an expression equivalent to!comp(a, b) && !comp(b, a)
The following expressions must be valid and have their specified effects.
| Expression | Return type | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
comp(a, b) | implicitly convertible to bool | Establishes strict weak ordering relation with the following properties
|
equiv(a, b) | bool | Establishes equivalence relationship with the following properties
|
Note: comp induces a strict total ordering on the equivalence classes determined by equiv.
