Hi Following the message to propose an alternative lower_bound and the reply to use three way comparison I try to implement this. Before going further I wonder if this is something possible ? The purpose of the: if constexpr (three_way_comparable<>) is to make sure that we use it only if there is a proper <=> operator defined. Afai understood what is in we can have the __synth3way for any type as long as < exist. But I think that if <=> is implemented in terms of < then it might be too expensive, the actual lower_bound might already be implemented this way. My main concerns is of course Standard conformity, could it be ok ? François
