<p><span class="citation" data-cites="P1614R0">[<a href="#ref-P1614R0" role="doc-biblioref">P1614R0</a>]</span> took the route of adding the new comparison operators as hidden friends. This paper instead preserves the current method of declaring comparisons - typically as non-member functions. See <a href="#friendship">friendship</a> for a more thorough discussion.</p>
<p>The comparisons between <code class="sourceCode cpp">unique_ptr<span class="op"><</span>T, D<span class="op">></span></code> and <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">nullptr</span></code> were originally removed and replaced with a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op"><=></span></code>, but this was reverted.</p>
<p>Additionally, R0 used the <code class="sourceCode default">3WAY</code><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op"><</span>R<span class="op">></span></code> wording from <span class="citation" data-cites="P1186R1">[<a href="#ref-P1186R1" role="doc-biblioref">P1186R1</a>]</span>, which was removed in the subsequent <span class="citation" data-cites="P1186R2">[<a href="#ref-P1186R2" role="doc-biblioref">P1186R2</a>]</span> - so the relevant wording for the fallback objects was changed as well.</p>
<h1 id="introduction" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc"><span class="header-section-number">2</span> Introduction<a href="#introduction" class="self-link"></a></h1>
<p>The work of integrating <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op"><=></span></code> into the library has been performed by multiple different papers, each addressing a different aspect of the integration. In the interest of streamlining review by the Library Working Group, the wording has been combined into a single paper. This is that paper.</p>
<p>In San Diego and Kona, several papers were approved by LEWG adding functionality to the library related to comparisons. What follows is the list of those papers, in alphabetical order, with a brief description of what those papers are. The complete motivation and design rationale for each can be found within the papers themselves.</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="citation" data-cites="P0790R2">[<a href="#ref-P0790R2" role="doc-biblioref">P0790R2</a>]</span> - adding <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op"><=></span></code> to the standard library types whose behavior is not dependent on a template parameter.</li>

<li><span class="citation" data-cites="P1154R1">[<a href="#ref-P1154R1" role="doc-biblioref">P1154R1</a>]</span> - adding the type trait <code class="sourceCode cpp">has_strong_structural_equality<span class="op"><</span>T<span class="op">></span></code> (useful to check if a type can be used as a non-type template parameter).</li>

<li><span class="citation" data-cites="P1191R0">[<a href="#ref-P1191R0" role="doc-biblioref">P1191R0</a>]</span> - adding equality to several previously incomparable standard library types.</li>

</ul>
<p>A significant amount of the wording in this paper is removing equality operators that have now become redundant. After <span class="citation" data-cites="P1185R2">[<a href="#ref-P1185R2" role="doc-biblioref">P1185R2</a>]</span>, <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op">==</span></code> and <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op">!=</span></code> have been tied together at the language level. For the simple case where you need two types to have heterogeous equality, it is enough to simply write one <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==(</span>T, U<span class="op">)</span></code> and that will now work for both equality and inequality in both directions.</p>
<h1 id="friendship" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc"><span class="header-section-number">3</span> Friendship<a href="#friendship" class="self-link"></a></h1>
<p>LEWG’s unanimous preference was that the new <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op"><=></span></code>s be declared as hidden friends. It would follow therefore that we would move the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code>s to be declared the same way as well, since it would be pretty odd if the two different comparison operators had different semantics.</p>
<p>However, a few issues have come up with this approach that are worth presenting clearly here.</p>
<h2 id="was-well-formed-now-ill-formed"><span class="header-section-number">3.1</span> Was well-formed, now ill-formed<a href="#was-well-formed-now-ill-formed" class="self-link"></a></h2>
<p>Here is an example that came up while I attempted to implement these changes to measure any improvements in build time that might come up. This is a reproduction from the LLVM codebase:</p>

<span id="cb1-9"><a href="#cb1-9"></a><span class="op">}</span></span></code></pre></div>
<p>In C++17, the marked line is well-formed. The <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> for <code class="sourceCode cpp">basic_string</code> is a non-member function template, and so would not be considered a candidate; the only viable candidate is the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> taking two <code class="sourceCode cpp">StringRef</code>s. With the proposed changes, the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> for <code class="sourceCode cpp">basic_string</code> becomes a non-member hidden friend, <em>non-template</em>, which makes it a candidate (converting <code class="sourceCode cpp">a</code> to a <code class="sourceCode cpp">string</code>). That candidate is ambiguous with the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==(</span>StringRef, StringRef<span class="op">)</span></code> candidate - each requires a conversion in one argument, so the call becomes ill-formed.</p>
<p>Many people might consider such a type - implicitly convertible in both directions (note that <code class="sourceCode cpp">string</code> to <code class="sourceCode cpp">string_view</code> is implicit, but <code class="sourceCode cpp">string_view</code> to <code class="sourceCode cpp">string</code> is explicit) - questionable. But this is still a breaking change to consider.</p>
<h2 id="was-ill-formed-now-well-formed"><span class="header-section-number">3.2</span> Was ill-formed, now well-formed<a href="#was-ill-formed-now-well-formed" class="self-link"></a></h2>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1"></a><span class="dt">bool</span> ref_equal<span class="op">(</span>std<span class="op">::</span>reference_wrapper<span class="op"><</span>std<span class="op">::</span>string<span class="op">></span> a,</span>

<span id="cb2-5"><a href="#cb2-5"></a><span class="op">}</span></span></code></pre></div>
<p>The comparisons for <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>reference_wrapper<span class="op"><</span>T<span class="op">></span></code> are very strange. It’s not that this type is comparable based on <em>whether</em> <code class="sourceCode cpp">T</code> is comparable. It’s actually that this type is comparable based on <em>how</em> <code class="sourceCode cpp">T</code> is comparable. We can compare <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>reference_wrapper<span class="op"><</span><span class="dt">int</span><span class="op">></span></code>s, but we cannot compare <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>reference_wrapper<span class="op"><</span>std<span class="op">::</span>string<span class="op">></span></code>s because the comparisons for <code class="sourceCode cpp">basic_string</code> are non-member function templates. That’s just weird. This change wouldn’t actually resolve that weirdness generally (it wouldn’t affect any user types whose comparisons are non-member function templates), but it would at least reduce it for the standard library. Arguably an improvement.</p>
<p>However, the more interesting case is:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb3-1"><a href="#cb3-1"></a><span class="dt">bool</span> is42<span class="op">(</span>std<span class="op">::</span>variant<span class="op"><</span><span class="dt">int</span>, std<span class="op">::</span>string<span class="op">></span> <span class="kw">const</span><span class="op">&</span> v<span class="op">)</span> <span class="op">{</span></span>
<span id="cb3-2"><a href="#cb3-2"></a> <span class="cf">return</span> v <span class="op">==</span> <span class="dv">42</span>; <span class="co">// (*)</span></span>
<span id="cb3-3"><a href="#cb3-3"></a><span class="op">}</span></span></code></pre></div>
<p>In C++17, the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> for <code class="sourceCode cpp">variant</code> is a non-member function template and is thus not a viable candidate for the marked line. That check is ill-formed. With the proposed changes, the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> for <code class="sourceCode cpp">variant</code> becomes a non-member hidden friend, <em>non-template</em>, which makes it a candidate (converting <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="dv">42</span></code> to a <code class="sourceCode cpp">variant<span class="op"><</span><span class="dt">int</span>, string<span class="op">></span></code>). Many would argue that this a fix, since both <code class="sourceCode cpp">variant<span class="op"><</span><span class="dt">int</span>, string<span class="op">></span> v <span class="op">=</span> <span class="dv">42</span>;</code> and <code class="sourceCode cpp">v <span class="op">=</span> <span class="dv">42</span>;</code> are already well-formed, so it is surely reasonable that <code class="sourceCode cpp">v <span class="op">==</span> <span class="dv">42</span></code> is as well.</p>
<p>But we already had a proposal to do precisely this: <span class="citation" data-cites="P1201R0">[<a href="#ref-P1201R0" role="doc-biblioref">P1201R0</a>]</span>, which failed to gain consensus in LEWGI in San Diego (vote was 2-6-2-3-3).</p>
<h2 id="alternatives"><span class="header-section-number">3.3</span> Alternatives<a href="#alternatives" class="self-link"></a></h2>
<p>The benefit of the hidden friend technique wasn’t the only way to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing the overload candidate set. Casey Carter suggested another:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb4"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb4-1"><a href="#cb4-1"></a><span class="kw">template</span><span class="op"><</span><span class="kw">class</span> T, <span class="kw">class</span> Traits <span class="op">=</span> char_traits<span class="op"><</span>T<span class="op">></span>, <span class="kw">class</span> Alloc <span class="op">=</span> allocator<span class="op"><</span>T<span class="op">>></span> <span class="kw">class</span> basic_string;</span>

<p>That is, we keep <code class="sourceCode cpp">basic_string</code>’s comparisons as non-member function templates – but we move them into a different namespace that is <em>only</em> associated with <code class="sourceCode cpp">basic_string</code>. This is an interesting direction to take, but is novel and has some specification burden.</p>
<h2 id="proposed-direction"><span class="header-section-number">3.4</span> Proposed Direction<a href="#proposed-direction" class="self-link"></a></h2>
<p>Ultimately, the goal here is to add <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op"><=></span></code> to all the types in the standard library. While I think the goal of reducing the candidate set for comparisons with standard library types is absolutely worth pursuing, it is a completely orthogonal goal and can be addressed by a different proposal in the future.</p>
<p>Given that we’ve said that users aren’t allowed to take the address of most standard library functions, Casey’s proposed implementation might even be valid under today’s wording for those standard library class templates whose comparisons are non-member templates, so I’d encourage implementors to experiment there.</p>
<p>The direction this paper is taking is the path of least resistance: keep all the comparison operators as they are. Add <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op"><=></span></code> in the same form that <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="op"><</span></code> appears today. With a few exceptions: those types for which adding a defaulted <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">operator</span><span class="op">==</span></code> would allow them to be used as non-type template parameters after <span class="citation" data-cites="P0732R2">[<a href="#ref-P0732R2" role="doc-biblioref">P0732R2</a>]</span> (and only those types) will have their comparisons implemented as hidden friends.</p>
