BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_BEGIN

|
//! Returns a `Logical` representing whether `x` is equal to `y`.
|
||
|
//! @ingroup group-Comparable
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! The `equal` function can be called in two different ways. First, it
|
||
|
//! can be called like a normal function:
|
||
|
//! @code
|
||
|
//! equal(x, y)
|
||
|
//! @endcode
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! However, it may also be partially applied to an argument by using
|
||
|
//! `equal.to`:
|
||
|
//! @code
|
||
|
//! equal.to(x)(y) == equal(x, y)
|
||
|
//! @endcode
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! In other words, `equal.to(x)` is a function object that is equivalent
|
||
|
//! to `partial(equal, x)`. This is provided to enhance the readability of
|
||
|
//! some constructs, especially when using higher order algorithms.
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! Signature
|
||
|
//! ---------
|
||
|
//! Given a Logical `Bool` and two Comparables `A` and `B` that
|
||
|
//! share a common embedding, the signature is
|
||
|
//! @f$ \mathtt{equal} : A \times B \to Bool @f$.
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! @param x, y
|
||
|
//! Two objects to compare for equality.
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! Example
|
||
|
//! -------
|
||
|
//! @include example/equal.cpp
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! > #### Rationale for the arity of `equal`
|
||
|
//! > It is a valid question whether `equal` should accept more than 2
|
||
|
//! > arguments and have semantics matching those of Python's `==`. This
|
||
|
//! > is not supported right now for the following reasons:
|
||
|
//! > - It was implemented in the MPL11, but it was not shown to be useful
|
||
|
//! > so far.
|
||
|
//! > - It does not make sense for `not_equal` to have an arity of more
|
||
|
//! > than 2, only `equal` could maybe have those semantics, which would
|
||
|
//! > break symmetry.
