std::compare_three_way - cppreference.com

struct compare_three_way;

(since C++20)

Function object for performing comparisons. Deduces the parameter types and the return type of the function call operator.

[edit] Nested types [edit] Member functions obtains the result of three-way comparison on both arguments
(public member function) std::compare_three_way::operator()

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

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

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

[edit] Example
#include <compare>
#include <iostream>
 
struct Rational
{
    int num;
    int den; // > 0
 
    // Although the comparison X <=> Y will work, a direct call
    // to std::compare_three_way{}(X, Y) requires the operator==
    // be defined, to satisfy the std::three_way_comparable_with.
    constexpr bool operator==(Rational const&) const = default;
};
 
constexpr std::weak_ordering operator<=>(Rational lhs, Rational rhs)
{
    return lhs.num * rhs.den <=> rhs.num * lhs.den;
}
 
void print(std::weak_ordering value)
{
    value < 0 ? std::cout << "less\n" :
    value > 0 ? std::cout << "greater\n" :
                std::cout << "equal\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    Rational a{6, 5};
    Rational b{8, 7};
    print(a <=> b);
    print(std::compare_three_way{}(a, b));
}

[edit] Defect reports

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior LWG 3530 C++20 syntactic checks were relaxed while comparing pointers only semantic requirements are relaxed [edit] See also
