@zoecarver I'm keeping types.h where it is since I think this one is hyper-specific to the tests, as opposed to the others, which are more general.

All of these .compile.pass.cpp tests should be .pass.cpp. It's harmless to run them, and we don't want to accidentally nerf any runtime asserts that might sneak in over the years.

| 377 | Please add a regression test that catches this typo (and then fix the typo). | |
| 395 | This is more a standard-defect-question than a PR-question, but: std::same_as went out of its way to be "symmetrical" with respect to subsumption rules, so that same_as<T,U> expresses the same constraint as same_as<U,T>. Relevant: https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/2018/11/26/remember-the-ifstream/ | |

| 35 | It looks like this overload is never used. I recommend eliminating this overload. Then, I recommend eliminating the other overload too, and just using static_assert(std::totally_ordered<T>); everywhere you are currently writing static_assert(models_totally_ordered<T>()); | |

| 105 | I don't think these tests belong here; but if they do, then it would be nice to see some negative tests too, e.g. after struct A {}; we should have !std::totally_ordered<std::vector<A>> and !std::totally_ordered<std::optional<A>>. | |

@EricWF and I were talking about this yesterday, interestingly. We agree, but we also agreed this should happen after everything is merged so it all remains consistent. WDYT?

| 35 | This is a subsumption check, so the fact it's not being used is by design :-) | |
| 91 | Whitespace is dictated by clang-format, and I don't care to fight with it. I'll be marking other formatting comments as done from now on. | |
| 105 |
Right, they belong in vector tests, etc.. @ldionne asked me to put them here (as I've linked in other patches), so here they are. I think a separate (set?) of patches should migrate these to their proper homes.
Done. | |

| 385 | Using __partially_ordered_with here means that the same expression validity is checked twice (e.g. t < u and u < t, but here the type of t and u is the same, _Tp). template<class _Tp, class _Up>
concept __oneway_ordered_with =p
requires(const remove_reference_t<_Tp>& __t, const remove_reference_t<_Up>& __u) {

For now a few comments, I'll have a closer look later.
| libcxx/include/concepts | ||
|---|---|---|
| 217 | Minor bikeshed; since the standard type traits start with a verb I would like to do the same here. This "trait" is like make_signed_t so I would suggest __make_const_lvalue_ref. | |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered.compile.pass.cpp | ||
| 45 | This feels wrong, when a double has a NaN value there's no total order. I wonder whether this is a bug in the Standard. | |
| libcxx/include/concepts | ||
|---|---|---|
| 217 | If we're going to add more characters, does this still benefit us over const remove_reference_t<_Tp>&? | |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered.compile.pass.cpp | ||
| 45 | It's a common misconception that floating-point numbers can't model totally_ordered because of NaN. From cmp.concept:
NaN is outside this domain, which I believe is documented by floating-point specifications. Andrew Sutton sums this up in his CppCon 2019 talk. Specifically:

| 217 | IMHO even __const_lvalue_ref<T> has already lost the benefit of brevity. I wanted __const_ref_t<T> to be the spelling that creates a "const T ref"; I see no point to saying lvalue because, what, you expected a const rvalue ref? 😛I thought the trailing _t would be noncontroversial, but actually if people prefer __const_ref<T> or even _ConstRef<T> I think that's great. | |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered.compile.pass.cpp | ||

| 45 | +1 @cjdb. A Concept like totally_ordered is ultimately just a way of organizing source code, like saying "does it make sense to have a std::set of these things." You can make a std::set<double> just fine. It does misbehave badly if you try to put NaN into it; but, you just have to remember not to do that. Andrew Sutton wrote:
Now that's stretching the philosophy to the breaking point, I think ;) but sure, it can make sense to have a std::set<std::deque<T>::iterator>, as long as you're careful to put into it only iterators from a single container and never let them become invalidated. Or come at it from the other side: Concepts describe the requirements of algorithms, i.e. what cases the algorithm needs to worry about. If the places-where-the-natural-ordering-fails also happen to be places-where-our-algorithms-don't-care-about-the-result (maybe because they're UB), then the concept remains useful in practice. | |

No real blockers for me, but I'd like to see the patch pass the CI before approving.

| 217 | I also don't want to start a big bikeshed, but I personally prefer names to be clear. But it's no blocker for me. | |

I hadn't read that part, but http://eel.is/c++draft/concepts#concept.totallyordered-1 Given a type T, let a, b, and c be lvalues of type const remove_reference_t<T>. T models totally_ordered only if Exactly one of bool(a < b), bool(a > b), or bool(a == b) is true.
Thanks for the link. I haven't seen this talk yet and Andrew's talks are usually very informative. As said I think the code is good, just wonder about the Standard. | |

This gets into the ongoing philosophical discussion about the provenance of values inside an algorithm (Howard Hinnant was talking about this a year or two ago). An algorithm might ask for permission to use a certain operation, but the caller still might put restrictions on where and how the algorithm gets to use that operation. Consider: We'd really like int to model both default_constructible and totally_ordered, right? Yet consider this template: template<class T> requires default_constructible<T> && totally_ordered<T>
bool example() {
T a, b;
return bool(a < b) || bool(a > b) || bool(a == b);
}Yet example<int>() may return false — https://godbolt.org/z/b83665obM — because actually it has undefined behavior. Concepts don't close every wild-west loophole in C++. | |

Just a few comments right now. I'll try to do a more in-depth review later.

| 4500 | Why is this guarded on C++11? | |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered.pass.cpp | ||
| 13 ↗ | (On Diff #333055) | Is this actually stated below? Maybe just say "concept totally_ordered" |
| 115 ↗ | (On Diff #333055) | Then do we need to include all those extra headers (i.e., std::vector)? |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered_with.pass.cpp | ||

| 4500 | We did something similar in the common_reference patch where @ldionne and I agreed that it could be guarded on C++11 (I don't recall why). If you really want it in C++11 mode, I'll need to know what the C++03 guard is. | |

| 217 | I added make. | |
| libcxx/include/type_traits | ||
|---|---|---|
| 4500 | No, I'm saying we might as well remove the guard altogether. Just to make it easier to read/remove code bloat. All the compilers we support allow templated type aliases in C++03. WDYT? | |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered.pass.cpp | ||
| 115 ↗ | (On Diff #333055) | Aha, I see. |
| libcxx/test/std/concepts/comparison/concepts.totallyordered/totally_ordered_with.pass.cpp | ||
| 1011 ↗ | (On Diff #333055) | I guess we need that... hmm. It's too bad that we have to have (bad) C++03 styles for all of our code. Anyway, that's a bigger discussion/problem. |

| 4500 | remove_reference_t is C++14 when switching to C++11 the code needs to be changed to typename remove_reference<_Tp>::type. I've no strong preference whether or not to allow __make_const_lvalue_ref in C++03. | |

This mostly looks good to me. I want to read over the logic part one more time while looking at the standard, but I think this is pretty much good to go. Sorry for being slow with reviewing.

| 115 ↗ | (On Diff #334547) | I think I brought this up before, but do you want to create a bug for spaceship support and then put a link to it in all the tests that need to be updated? That way you could just do a cmd+f to find all the places that mention the bug ID and need to be updated, rather than searching through all "FIXME" comments. |

Okay, this (finally) looks good to me. As we discussed, I think cutting down these tests a bit in the future will help me review it more quickly (and it would make me feel more confident that I haven't overlooked something). Maybe we should have a larger discussion about how we want to do concept tests in the discord channel. I think it would be beneficial to everyone to solidify some guidelines.

(Also, please run this through clang-format or fix the formatting issues I pointed out earlier before you commit.)
Comment Actions
This is the product of clang-format. Per @ldionne's musings in D99691, manually overriding clang-format is going to become a hard error in the future.
Yes, future patches will have a reduced set of tests for the most part, because they're not (a) testing the boundary of the language and library, and (b) testing a completely novel compiler feature with minimal field experience. D96477 is an example of this plan.
Having said that, a discussion would be welcome to make sure everyone's on the same page.

Minor bikeshed; since the standard type traits start with a verb I would like to do the same here. This "trait" is like make_signed_t so I would suggest __make_const_lvalue_ref.
