class strong_ordering; | (since C++20) | |
The class typestd::strong_ordering
is the result type of athree-way comparison that:
==
,!=
,<
,<=
,>
,>=
).Contents |
The typestd::strong_ordering
has four valid values, implemented as const static data members of its type:
Name | Definition |
inlineconstexpr std::strong_ordering less [static] | a valid value indicating less-than (ordered before) relationship (public static member constant) |
inlineconstexpr std::strong_ordering equivalent [static] | a valid value indicating equivalence (neither ordered before nor ordered after), the same asequal (public static member constant) |
inlineconstexpr std::strong_ordering equal [static] | a valid value indicating equivalence (neither ordered before nor ordered after), the same asequivalent (public static member constant) |
inlineconstexpr std::strong_ordering greater [static] | a valid value indicating greater-than (ordered after) relationship (public static member constant) |
std::strong_ordering
is the strongest of the three comparison categories: it is not implicitly-convertible from any other category and is implicitly-convertible to the other two.
operator partial_ordering | implicit conversion tostd::partial_ordering (public member function) |
constexpr operator partial_ordering()constnoexcept; | ||
std::partial_ordering::less ifv
isless
,std::partial_ordering::greater ifv
isgreater
,std::partial_ordering::equivalent ifv
isequal
orequivalent
.
operator weak_ordering | implicit conversion tostd::weak_ordering (public member function) |
constexpr operator weak_ordering()constnoexcept; | ||
std::weak_ordering::less ifv
isless
,std::weak_ordering::greater ifv
isgreater
,std::weak_ordering::equivalent ifv

.
Comparison operators are defined between values of this type and literal0. This supports the expressionsa<=> b==0 ora<=> b<0 that can be used to convert the result of a three-way comparison operator to a boolean relationship; seestd::is_eq,std::is_lt, etc.
These functions are not visible to ordinaryunqualified orqualified lookup, and can only be found byargument-dependent lookup whenstd::strong_ordering
is an associated class of the arguments.
The behavior of a program that attempts to compare astrong_ordering
with anything other than the integer literal0 is undefined.
