Function std.experimental.checkedint.ProperCompare.hookOpEquals
Hook for ==
and !=
that ensures comparison against integral values has
the behavior expected by the usual arithmetic rules. The built-in semantics
yield surprising behavior when comparing signed values against unsigned
values for equality, for example uint
or -1_294_967_296 ==
3_000_000_000u
. The call hookOpEquals(x, y)
returns true
if and only
if x
and y
represent the same arithmetic number.
bool hookOpEquals(L, R)
(
L lhs,
R rhs
);
If one of the numbers is an integral and the other is a floating-point
number, hookOpEquals(x, y)
returns true
if and only if the integral
can be converted exactly (without approximation) to the floating-point
number. This is in order to preserve transitivity of equality: if hookOpEquals(x, y)
and hookOpEquals(y, z)
then hookOpEquals(y,
z)
, in case x
, y
, and z
are a mix of integral and floating-point
numbers.

Returns
The result of the comparison, true
if the values are equal
