23.11.2.2.7 shared_­ptr comparison [util.smartptr.shared.cmp]

template<class T, class U> bool operator==(const shared_ptr<T>& a, const shared_ptr<U>& b) noexcept;

Returns: a.get() == b.get().

template<class T, class U> bool operator<(const shared_ptr<T>& a, const shared_ptr<U>& b) noexcept;

Returns: less<>()(a.get(), b.get()).

[Note: Defining a comparison function allows shared_­ptr objects to be used as keys in associative containers. end note]

template <class T> bool operator==(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator==(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: !a.

template <class T> bool operator!=(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator!=(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: (bool)a.

template <class T> bool operator<(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator<(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: The first function template returns less<shared_­ptr<T>​::​element_­type*>()(a.get(), nullptr). The second function template returns less<shared_­ptr<T>​::​element_­type*>()(nullptr, a.get()).

template <class T> bool operator>(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator>(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: The first function template returns nullptr < a. The second function template returns a < nullptr.

template <class T> bool operator<=(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator<=(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: The first function template returns !(nullptr < a). The second function template returns !(a < nullptr).

template <class T> bool operator>=(const shared_ptr<T>& a, nullptr_t) noexcept; template <class T> bool operator>=(nullptr_t, const shared_ptr<T>& a) noexcept;

Returns: The first function template returns !(a < nullptr). The second function template returns !(nullptr < a).
