template< std::common_with<I> I2 >

  friend constexpr bool operator==(

    const counted_iterator& x, const counted_iterator<I2>& y );
(1) (since C++20)
template< std::common_with<I> I2 >

  friend constexpr strong_ordering operator<=>(

    const counted_iterator& x, const counted_iterator<I2>& y );
(2) (since C++20)

Compares the underlying lengths (i.e. distances to the end).

1) Checks if the underlying lengths are equal.
2) Compares the underlying lengths with operator <=>.

The behavior is undefined if x and y do not point to elements of the same sequence. That is, there must exist some n such that std::next(x.base(), x.count() + n) and std::next(y.base(), y.count() + n) refer to the same element.

The <, <=, >, >=, and != operators are synthesized from operator<=> and operator== respectively.

This function template is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std::counted_iterator<I> is an associated class of the arguments.

Parameters

x, y - iterator adaptors.

Return value

1) x.count() == y.count()
2) y.count() <=> x.count()

Notes

Since the length counts down, not up, the order of the arguments of operator<=> in the underlying comparison expression is reversed, i.e. y is lhs, x is rhs.

Example

#include <initializer_list>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    static constexpr auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
    constexpr std::counted_iterator<std::initializer_list<int>::iterator>
        it1 {v.begin(), 5},
        it2 {v.begin(), 5},
        it3 {v.begin() + 1, 4},
        it4 {v.begin(), 0};
    static_assert( it1 == it2 );
    static_assert( it2 != it3 );
    static_assert( it2 <  it3 );
    static_assert( it1 <= it2 );
    static_assert( it3 != std::default_sentinel );
    static_assert( it4 == std::default_sentinel );
 
    // it2 == std::counted_iterator{v.begin(), 4}; // UB: operands do not refer to
                                                   // elements of the same sequence
}
