I do appreciate how newer C++ standards have made these kinds of things a lot easier too.
Define all comparison operators with just one one line using C++20
auto operator<=>(const ClassName&) const = default;It's nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance
It makes it look like they're just adding random noise to avoid colliding with existing syntax. Maybe they can try a UUID next time...
It makes perfect sense actually. I did write another comment here if you are interested.
This is how operator overloads were written going back to the initial version of C++ back in 1985. The only new thing is that we can now add
= defaultto get the compiler to generate a default implementation that compares all the member variables for you.
