1111. associative containers underconstrained

Discussion:

According to table 87 (n2857) the expression X::key_equal for an unordered container shall return a value of type Pred, where Pred is an equivalence relation.

However, all 4 containers constrain Pred to be merely a Predicate, and not EquivalenceRelation.

[ Batavia (2009-05): ]

We agree with the proposed resolution.

Move to Review.

Proposed resolution:

For ordered containers, replace

Predicate<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>

with

StrictWeakOrder<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>

For unordered containers, replace

Predicate<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>

with

EquivalenceRelation<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>

As in the following declarations:
