std::weak_equality

class weak_equality; |
(since C++20) | |
The class type std::weak_equality
is the result type of a three-way comparison that
- admits only equality and inequality comparisons (no less-than/greater-than)
- does not imply substitutability: if a is equivalent to b, f(a) may not be equivalent to f(b), where f denotes a function that reads only comparison-salient state that is accessible via the argument's public const members. In other words, equivalent values may be distinguishable.
std::weak_equality
is the weakest comparison category type: it is not implicitly-convertible to any other comparison category, but the other four comparison categories (std::strong_equality, std::partial_ordering, std::weak_ordering, std::strong_ordering) are implicitly-convertible to std::weak_equality
.
Constants
The type std::weak_equality
has only two valid values, implemented as const static data members of its type: std::weak_equality::equivalent and std::weak_equality::nonequivalent:
Member constant | Definition |
equivalent(inline constexpr) [static] |
a valid value of the type std::weak_equality indicating equivalence (public static member constant) |
nonequivalent(inline constexpr) [static] |
a valid value of the type std::weak_equality indicating non-equivalence (public static member constant) |
Comparisons
Comparison operators are defined between values of this type and literal 0. This supports the expressions a <=> b == 0 and a <=> b != 0 used to convert the result of a three-way comparison operator to a boolean relationship; see std::is_eq and std::is_neq.
The behavior of a program that attempts to compare a weak_equality
with anything other than the integer literal 0 is undefined.
