Compares two durations. Let CT be std::common_type < std::chrono::duration <Rep1, Period1>, std::chrono::duration <Rep2, Period2>> :: type

1,2) Checks if lhs and rhs
3-6) Compares lhs to rhs
7) Compares lhs to rhs, i.e. compares the number of ticks for the type common to both durations. The return type is deduced from CT(lhs).count ( ) <=> CT(rhs).count ( )

The != operator is synthesized from operator==.

(since C++20)

Parameters

lhs - duration on the left-hand side of the operator
rhs - duration on the right-hand side of the operator

Return value

1) CT(lhs).count ( ) == CT(rhs).count ( )
2) !(lhs == rhs)
3) CT(lhs).count ( ) < CT(rhs).count ( )
4) !(rhs < lhs)
5) rhs < lhs
6) !(lhs < rhs)
7) CT(lhs).count ( ) <=> CT(rhs).count ( )

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr auto t1 = std::chrono::seconds(2);
    constexpr auto t2 = std::chrono::milliseconds(2000);
 
    if constexpr (t1 == t2)
        std::cout << t1 << " == " << t2 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << t1 << " != " << t2 << '\n';
 
    constexpr auto t3 = std::chrono::seconds(61);
    constexpr auto t4 = std::chrono::minutes(1);
 
    if constexpr (t3 > t4)
        std::cout << t3 << " > " << t4 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << t3 << " <= " << t4 << '\n';
 
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
 
    static_assert(1h == 60min);
    static_assert(1min == 60s);
    static_assert(1s == 1'000ms);
    static_assert(1ms == 1'000us);
    static_assert(1us == 1'000ns);
}

Output:

2s == 2000ms
61s > 1min
