std::flat_multimap<Key,T,Compare,KeyContainer,MappedContainer>::value_comp

Since C++23

Returns a function object that compares objects of type std::flat_multimap::value_type (key-value pairs) by using key_comp to compare the first components of the pairs.

# Declarations

std::flat_multimap::value_compare value_comp() const;

(since C++23)

# Return value

The value comparison function object.

# Example

#include <iostream>
#include <flat_map>
#include <utility>
 
// Example module 97 key compare function
struct ModCmp
{
    bool operator()(int lhs, int rhs) const
    {
        return (lhs % 97) < (rhs % 97);
    }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::flat_multimap<int, char, ModCmp> cont;
    cont = {{1, 'a'}, {2, 'b'}, {3, 'c'}, {4, 'd'}, {5, 'e'}};
 
    auto comp_func = cont.value_comp();
 
    for (const std::pair<int, char> val = {100, 'a'}; auto it : cont)

        else if (after)
