Defined in header
<functional>
template< class T >
struct greater;
(until C++14)
struct greater;
template< class T = void >
struct greater;
(since C++14)
struct greater;
Function object for performing comparisons. The main template invokes operator> on type T.

(until C++11)[edit] Member functions
operator()
(public member function)
std::greater::operator()
bool operator()( const T& lhs, const T& rhs ) const;
(constexpr since C++14)
Checks whether lhs is greater than rhs.
Parameters
lhs, rhs
-
values to compare
Return value
lhs > rhs.
If T is a pointer type, the result is consistent with the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers.
[edit] Exceptions
May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
Possible implementation
constexpr bool operator()(const T& lhs, const T& rhs) const { return lhs > rhs; // assumes that the implementation handles pointer total order }
[edit] Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| LWG 2562 | C++98 | the pointer total order might be inconsistent | guaranteed to be consistent |
