Return the first node not ordered before value, or the sentinel.

Synopsis

template<
    class NODE_VALUE_COMPARATOR,

RbTreeNode const*
lowerBound(
    RbTreeAnchor const& tree,
    NODE_VALUE_COMPARATOR& comparator,
    VALUE const& value);

Description

Return the address of the leftmost node holding the smallest value greater‐than or equal‐to value in the specified tree (organized according to the specified 'comparator) if found, and return tree.sentinel() if value is greater‐than the rightmost node in tree. COMPARATOR shall be a functor providing two methods that can be called as if they had the following signatures: ` bool operator()(const RbTreeNode&, const VALUE&) const; bool operator()(const VALUE&, const RbTreeNode&) const; ` The behavior is undefined unless comparator provides a strict weak ordering on objects of type VALUE, and tree is well‐formed (isWellFormed). Note that this function returns the first position before which value could be inserted into tree while preserving its ordering.

Return Value

address of the first node not ordered before value, or the sentinel

Parameters

Name

Description

tree

tree to search

comparator

functor used to order nodes against value

value

value whose lower bound is returned
