From cppreference.com
Defined in header <experimental/optional>
Compare two optional objects
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator==( const optional<T>& lhs, const optional<T>& rhs );
(1) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator<( const optional<T>& lhs, const optional<T>& rhs );
(2) (library fundamentals TS)
Compare an optional object with a nullopt
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator==( const optional<T>& opt, std::nullopt_t );
(3) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator==( std::nullopt_t, const optional<T>& opt );
(4) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator<( const optional<T>& opt, std::nullopt_t );
(5) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator<( std::nullopt_t, const optional<T>& opt);
(6) (library fundamentals TS)
Compare an optional object with a T
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator==( const optional<T>& opt, const T& v );
(7) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator==( const T& value, const optional<T>& opt );
(8) (library fundamentals TS)
template< class T >
constexpr bool operator<( const optional<T>& opt, const T& v );
(9) (library fundamentals TS)

Performs comparison operations on optional objects.

1-2) Compares two optional objects, lhs and rhs. The contained values are compared only if both lhs and rhs contain values. Otherwise,
  • lhs is considered equal to rhs if, and only if, both lhs and rhs do not contain a value.
  • lhs is considered less than rhs if, and only if, rhs contains a value and lhs does not.
3-6) Compares opt with a nullopt. Equivalent to (1-2) when comparing to an optional that contains a value.
7-9) Compares opt with a value. The values are compared only if opt contains a value. Otherwise, opt is considered less than value.

[edit] Parameters

lhs, rhs, opt - an optional object to compare
value - value to compare to the contained value
Type requirements
-
T must meet the requirements of EqualityComparable in order to use overloads (1, 7-8).

[edit] Return value

1) If bool(lhs) != bool(rhs), returns false
Otherwise, if bool(lhs) == bool(rhs) == false, returns true
Otherwise, returns *lhs == *rhs.
2) If bool(rhs) == false returns false
Otherwise, if lhs == false, returns true
Otherwise returns std::less<T>{}(*x, *y)
3) Returns !opt.
4) Returns false.
5) Returns !opt.
6) Returns bool(opt)
7-8) Returns bool(opt) ? *opt == value : false.
9) Returns bool(opt) ? std::less<T>{}(*opt, value) : true.
