c++11 unordered_set with hash function syntax error


I've this code:

#include<unordered_set>
using namespace std;
struct E{
    size_t distance;
    bool operator>(const E& e)const{
        return distance > e.distance;
    }
    bool operator<(const E& e)const{
        return distance < e.distance;
    }
};
int main(){
    unordered_set<E> s;
    return 0;
}

When I compile it with g++ 7.3 it gives a lot of errors:

Where did I get wrong, how to fix it?


Solution

  • std::unordered_set does not require operator< and operator> for your type E, which you have provided. It does require a hash function or function-like object (or defaults to std::hash<E>) which you have not provided, as well as operator==, which you have also not provided.
