bsl::multimap::value_compare

Adaptor that compares value_type objects by their keys.

Synopsis

Declared in <bslstl_multimap.h>

class value_compare;

Description

This nested class defines a mechanism for comparing two objects of value_type by adapting an object of (template parameter) type COMPARATOR, which compares two objects of (template parameter) type KEY . Note that this class exactly matches its definition in the C++11 standard [23.4.4.1]; otherwise, we would have implemented it as a separate component-local class.
