Function object for performing comparisons. Deduces the parameter types of the function call operator from the arguments (but not the return type).

std::ranges::less::operator()

template< class T, class U >
constexpr bool operator()( T&& t, U&& u ) const;

Given the expression std::forward<T>(t) < std::forward<U>(u) as expr:

  • Otherwise:

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::totally_ordered_with<T, U> is satisfied.

If there exists an expression expr1 of type T and an expression expr2 of U, such that the comparison results of expr1 and expr2 violate strict total ordering (rules are defined below), the behavior is undefined.

The comparison results of expr1 and expr2 follow strict total ordering only if exactly one of the following expressions is true:

Notes

Unlike std::less, std::ranges::less requires all six comparison operators <, <=, >, >=, == and != to be valid (via the totally_ordered_with constraint).

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published 哋它亢++ standards.
