std::strong_equal

Defined in header <compare>
template< class T >
constexpr std::strong_equality strong_equal(const T& a, const T& b);
(since C++20)

Compares two values using 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::strong_equality.

Specifically,

  • If the expression a <=> b is well-formed and its result is convertible to std::strong_equality, returns that result.
  • Otherwise, if the expression a <=> b is well-formed, but its result is not convertible to std::strong_equality, then the function is defined as deleted.
  • Otherwise, if the expression a <=> b is ill-formed, but the expression a == b is well-formed and convertible to bool,
    • if a == b is true, returns std::strong_equality::equal
    • otherwise, returns std::strong_equality::nonequal
  • Otherwise, the function is defined as deleted.

Parameters

a, b - values to compare

Return value

A value of type std::strong_equality, as described above.
