NAME¶

std::multiset::key_comp - std::multiset::key_comp

Synopsis¶

key_compare key_comp() const;

Returns the function object that compares the keys, which is a copy of this
container's constructor argument comp. It is the same as value_comp.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

The key comparison function object.

Complexity¶

Constant.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include <utility>

// Example module 97 key compare function
struct ModCmp
{
bool operator()(int lhs, int rhs) const
{
return (lhs % 97) < (rhs % 97);
}
};

int main()
{
std::multiset<int, ModCmp> cont{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

auto comp_func = cont.key_comp();

for (const int key : cont)
{
const bool before = comp_func(key, 100);
const bool after = comp_func(100, key);

std::cout << '(' << key << ") ";
if (!before && !after)
std::cout << "equivalent to key (100)\n";
else if (before)
std::cout << "goes before key (100)\n";
else if (after)
std::cout << "goes after key (100)\n";
else
std::unreachable();
}
}

Output:¶

Key (1) goes before key (100)
Key (2) goes before key (100)
Key (3) equivalent to key (100)
Key (4) goes after key (100)
Key (5) goes after key (100)
