Discussion:
Additional to the necessary cleanup of the description of the the weak_ptr component from 20.3.2.3 [util.smartptr.weak] described in 1231(i) it turns out that the currently deleted comparison functions of weak_ptr are not needed at all: There is no safe-bool conversion from weak_ptr, and it won't silently chose a conversion to shared_ptr.
[ 2009-11-14 Moved to Tentatively Ready after 5 positive votes on c++std-lib. ]
Proposed resolution:
Change 20.3.2.3 [util.smartptr.weak]/1 as indicated:
namespace std {
template<class T> class weak_ptr {
public:
...
// comparisons
template<class Y> bool operator<(weak_ptr<Y> const&) const = delete;
template<class Y> bool operator<=(weak_ptr<Y> const&) const = delete;
template<class Y> bool operator>(weak_ptr<Y> const&) const = delete;
template<class Y> bool operator>=(weak_ptr<Y> const&) const = delete;
};
...
