std::istrea...rator::equal(3)

👑 NAME 👑

std::istreambuf_iterator::equal - std::istreambuf_iterator::equal

Okay so welcome to the std::istrea...rator::equal(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual, bestie 💖 — yes, Libary is literally how the header spells it, and we are not fixing it, we are respecting the lore 💅.

✨ Synopsis ✨

bool equal( const istreambuf_iterator& it ) const;

This is the whole vibe check: equal checks whether both *this and it are valid, or both are invalid, regardless of the stream buffer objects they use. So it’s not comparing which stream buffer objects they use — it’s comparing validity status, periodt.

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• it — another stream buffer iterator to compare to. That’s the entire parameter list, bestie 🫶.

💖 Return value 💖

• true — if both *this and it are valid, or both are invalid.
• false — otherwise.

😭 Exceptions 😭

May throw implementation-defined exceptions. Ngl, implementation-defined means exactly that, so don’t assume it’s a calm no-throw situation 😭.

🧚 Defect reports 🧚

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards. Drama, but make it standards-committee 💀:

• DR: LWG 110 · Applied to: C++98 · Behavior as published: the signature was bool equal(istreambuf_iterator& it) · Correct behavior: consts added.
• DR: LWG 1126 · Applied to: C++98 · Behavior as published: LWG issue 110 was not properly resolved, leaving the parameter type as istreambuf_iterator& · Correct behavior: const added.

Source/version + date sign-off, bestie: page source http://cppreference.com, page date 2024.06.10, footer tag std::istrea...rator::equal(3). That’s the tea ☕ — stay hydrated, keep your iterators valid, and slay the day 💖✨🦋
