 (7) (since C++20)

Compares the underlying iterators.

(1-6) only participate in overload resolution if their underlying comparison expressions (see below) are well-formed and convertible to bool.

The != operator is synthesized from operator==.

 (since C++20)

Parameters

lhs, rhs - iterator adaptors to compare

Return Value

1) lhs.base() == rhs.base()
2) !(lhs == rhs)
3) lhs.base() < rhs.base()
4) !(rhs < lhs)
5) rhs < lhs
6) !(lhs < rhs)
7) lhs.base() <=> rhs.base()

Example

#include <compare>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    int a[]{9, 8, 7, 6};
    //            │  └───── x, y
    //            └──────── z
 
    std::move_iterator<int*>
        x {std::end(a) - 1},
        y {std::end(a) - 1},
        z {std::end(a) - 2};
 
    std::cout
        << std::boolalpha
        << "*x == " << *x << '\n' // 6
        << "*y == " << *y << '\n' // 6
        << "*z == " << *z << '\n' // 7
        << "x == y ? " << (x == y) << '\n' // true
        << "x != y ? " << (x != y) << '\n' // false
        << "x <  y ? " << (x <  y) << '\n' // false
        << "x <= y ? " << (x <= y) << '\n' // true
        << "x == z ? " << (x == z) << '\n' // false
        << "x != z ? " << (x != z) << '\n' // true
        << "x <  z ? " << (x <  z) << '\n' // false
        << "x <= z ? " << (x <= z) << '\n' // false
        << "x <=> y == 0 ? " << (x <=> y == 0) << '\n' // true
        << "x <=> y <  0 ? " << (x <=> y <  0) << '\n' // false
        << "x <=> y >  0 ? " << (x <=> y >  0) << '\n' // false
        << "x <=> z == 0 ? " << (x <=> z == 0) << '\n' // false
        << "x <=> z <  0 ? " << (x <=> z <  0) << '\n' // true
        << "x <=> z >  0 ? " << (x <=> z >  0) << '\n' // false
        ;
}

Output:

*x == 6
*y == 6
*z == 7
x == y ? true
x != y ? false
x <  y ? false
x <= y ? true
x == z ? false
x != z ? true
x <  z ? false
x <= z ? false
x <=> y == 0 ? true
x <=> y <  0 ? false
x <=> y >  0 ? false
x <=> z == 0 ? false
x <=> z <  0 ? false
x <=> z >  0 ? true
