[libcxx] Implement three-way comparison for std::reverse_iterator

[miyuki]

Summary

This patch implements operator<=> for std::reverse_iterator and
also adds a test that checks that three-way comparison of different
instantiations of std::reverse_iterator works as expected (related to
D113417).

Nit: we can drop the second argument here to static_assert if you'd like.

Looks acceptable as-is, but if we can convince you to scope-creep it to adding C++20 constraints on the comparison operators, that'd be cool. :)

libcxx/include/__iterator/reverse_iterator.h

194

C++20 also adds constraints to all six of these operators, e.g.:

Constraints: x.base() == y.base() is well-formed and convertible to bool.

Scope-creep: shall we add these constraints right now? E.g.

template <class _Iter1, class _Iter2>
inline _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY _LIBCPP_CONSTEXPR_AFTER_CXX14
bool
operator<=(const reverse_iterator<_Iter1>& __x, const reverse_iterator<_Iter2>& __y)
#if _LIBCPP_STD_VER > 17 && !defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_CONCEPTS)
    requires is_convertible_v<decltype(x.base() >= y.base()), bool>
#endif
{
    return __x.base() >= __y.base();
}

The only reason to template this on ItL and ItR is if you're going to test different iterator types. Specifically, let's test one where its comparison category is partial_ordering, to make sure that that comes through OK. (I wonder if iota_view<float>::iterator exists and if so what its comparison category is.)

Yes, in this case, char * and const char *.

Specifically, let's test one where its comparison category is partial_ordering

OK, I will add such a test.

Added std::partial_ordering test

LGTM mod comments. Guess I failed to nerdsnipe you into adding the constraints to the other six relational operators, huh?

All you're trying to do here is create a conversion

ConstIter(Iter it): m_value(it.m_value) {}

right? Just write that one line. :)

Note that if these were real iterators, in C++20, inheritance would totally not work, because you'd have signatures like ConstIter& Iter::operator++() which wouldn't satisfy the iterator concepts. Inheritance and value-semantic types really do not mix.

57–59

Style nit: Both operator== and operator<=> should be hidden friends of ConstIter.
operator== can be defaulted.

UB nit: Your operator== is not consistent with your operator<=>. I suggest just declaring double m_value, and defaulting both == and <=>. Then you can use ConstIter(std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN()) as your "unordered" iterator value. (And I recommend pulling out a variable double nan = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(); in main for readability.)

[miyuki]

Updated the test.

std::vector<int>::iterator b;
std::vector<int>::const_iterator& rb = b; // 1

Thanks, now I finally got it.

I'll submit a separate patch

[miyuki]

Added missing constexpr

[• Quuxplusone]

LGTM! Please wait for second libc++ approval before landing.

Add a blank line between lines 34 and 35.

This is a known bug in GCC constexpr evaluation. You can just change this from Iter(nan), Iter(6) to Iter(nan), Iter(nan) and that should make GCC happy.

Addressed comments.

[miyuki]

The CI failure looks unrelated.

Nope, I disagree. It's just really unhelpful, but I think you are missing some includes.

Note that D114010 will make that error useful again, but it's blocked on a couple things.

Added missing #include-s

🚢 it!
