Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Comp = std::less<T>>
class regina::LessDeref< T, Comp >

An adaptable binary function used to compare the objects to which pointers are pointing.

This class is for use with the Standard Template Library.

The first template argument T will generally not be a pointer class. Instead, this function will accept two const pointers to T. It will then dereference these pointers and compare these dereferenced objects using the given comparison function (which defaults to std::less, but which can be changed by passing a different second template argument).

Python:
Not present.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T, typename Comp = std::less<T>>
bool regina::LessDeref< T, Comp >::operator() ( const T *  ptr1,
const T *  ptr2 
) const [inline]

Compares the objects to which the given pointers are pointing.

The two pointers are dereferenced, and then a function of type Comp (the second template argument) is used to compare the dereferenced objects.

Parameters:
ptr1 a pointer to the first object under examination.
ptr2 a pointer to the second object under examination.
Returns:
true if the first dereferenced object is less than the second, or false otherwise.
