Compares twoshared_ptr<T> objects or comparesshared_ptr<T> with a null pointer.
Note that the comparison operators forshared_ptr simply compare pointer values; the actual objects pointed to arenot compared. Havingoperator< defined forshared_ptr allowsshared_ptrs to be used as keys in associative containers, likestd::map andstd::set.

In all cases, it is the stored pointer (the one returned byget()) that is compared, rather than the managed pointer (the one passed to the deleter whenuse_count goes to zero). The two pointers may differ in ashared_ptr created using the aliasing constructor.
#include <iostream>#include <memory> int main(){std::shared_ptr<int> p1(newint(42));std::shared_ptr<int> p2(newint(42)); std::cout<<std::boolalpha<<"(p1 == p1) : "<<(p1== p1)<<'\n'<<"(p1 <=> p1) == 0 : "<<((p1<=> p1)==0)<<'\n'// Since C++20 // p1 and p2 point to different memory locations, so p1 != p2<<"(p1 == p2) : "<<(p1== p2)<<'\n'<<"(p1 < p2) : "<<(p1< p2)<<'\n'<<"(p1 <=> p2) < 0 : "<<((p1<=> p2)<0)<<'\n'// Since C++20<<"(p1 <=> p2) == 0 : "<<((p1<=> p2)==0)<<'\n';// Since C++20}
Possible output:
(p1 == p1) : true(p1 <=> p1) == 0 : true(p1 == p2) : false(p1 < p2) : true(p1 <=> p2) < 0 : true(p1 <=> p2) == 0 : false
