[edit] Parameters

x, y - unique_ptrs to compare

[edit] Return value

1) x.get() == y.get()

2) x.get() != y.get()

3) std::less<CT>()(x.get(), y.get()), where CT is std::common_type<unique_ptr<T1, D1>::pointer, unique_ptr<T2, D2>::pointer>::type

4) !(y < x)

5) y < x

6) !(x < y)

7-8) !x

9-10) (bool)x

11) std::less<unique_ptr<T,D>::pointer>()(x.get(), nullptr)

12) std::less<unique_ptr<T,D>::pointer>()(nullptr, y.get())

13) nullptr < x

14) y < nullptr

15) !(nullptr < x)

16) !(y < nullptr)

17) !(x < nullptr)

18) !(nullptr < y)

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
 
int main() 
{
    std::unique_ptr<int> p1(new int(42));
    std::unique_ptr<int> p2(new int(42));
 
    std::cout << "p1 == p1: " << (p1 == p1) << '\n';
 
    // p1 and p2 point to different memory locations, so p1 != p2
    std::cout << "p1 == p2: " << (p1 == p2) << '\n';
}

Output:

p1 == p1: 1
p1 == p2: 0
