20.11.1.6 Specialized algorithms [unique.ptr.special]

template<class T, class D> void swap(unique_ptr<T, D>& x, unique_ptr<T, D>& y) noexcept;
Constraints: is_­swappable_­v<D> is true.
Effects: Calls x.swap(y).
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Returns: x.get() == y.get().
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> bool operator<(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Let CT denote common_type_t<typename unique_ptr<T1, D1>::pointer, typename unique_ptr<T2, D2>::pointer>
Mandates:
  • unique_­ptr<T1, D1>​::​pointer is implicitly convertible to CT and
  • unique_­ptr<T2, D2>​::​pointer is implicitly convertible to CT.
Preconditions: The specialization less<CT> is a function object type ([function.objects]) that induces a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]) on the pointer values.
Returns: less<CT>()(x.get(), y.get()).
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> bool operator>(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Returns: y < x.
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> bool operator<=(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Returns: !(y < x).
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> bool operator>=(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Returns: !(x < y).
template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2> requires three_­way_­comparable_­with<typename unique_ptr<T1, D1>::pointer, typename unique_ptr<T2, D2>::pointer> compare_three_way_result_t<typename unique_ptr<T1, D1>::pointer, typename unique_ptr<T2, D2>::pointer> operator<=>(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);
Returns: compare_­three_­way()(x.get(), y.get()).
template<class T, class D> bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t) noexcept;
Returns: !x.
template<class T, class D> bool operator<(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t); template<class T, class D> bool operator<(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x);
Preconditions: The specialization less<unique_­ptr<T, D>​::​pointer> is a function object type ([function.objects]) that induces a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]) on the pointer values.
Returns: The first function template returns less<unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer>()(x.get(), nullptr)
The second function template returns less<unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer>()(nullptr, x.get())
template<class T, class D> bool operator>(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t); template<class T, class D> bool operator>(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x);
Returns: The first function template returns nullptr < x.
The second function template returns x < nullptr.
template<class T, class D> bool operator<=(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t); template<class T, class D> bool operator<=(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x);
Returns: The first function template returns !(nullptr < x).
The second function template returns !(x < nullptr).
template<class T, class D> bool operator>=(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t); template<class T, class D> bool operator>=(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x);
Returns: The first function template returns !(x < nullptr).
The second function template returns !(nullptr < x).
template<class T, class D> requires three_­way_­comparable_­with<typename unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer, nullptr_t> compare_three_way_result_t<typename unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer, nullptr_t> operator<=>(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t);
Returns: compare_­three_­way()(x.get(), nullptr).
