Discussion:
Sections 24.3.10.2 [list.cons] and 24.3.10.4 [list.modifiers] list comparison operators (==, !=, <, <=, >, =>) for queue and stack. Only the semantics for queue::operator== (24.3.10.2 [list.cons] par2) and queue::operator< (24.3.10.2 [list.cons] par3) are defined.
Proposed resolution:
Add the following new paragraphs after 24.3.10.2 [list.cons] paragraph 3:
operator!=Returns: x.c != y.c
operator>Returns: x.c > y.c
operator<=Returns: x.c <= y.c
operator>=Returns: x.c >= y.c
Add the following paragraphs at the end of 24.3.10.4 [list.modifiers]:
operator==Returns: x.c == y.c
operator<Returns: x.c < y.c
operator!=Returns: x.c != y.c
operator>Returns: x.c > y.c
operator<=Returns: x.c <= y.c
operator>=Returns: x.c >= y.c
[Kona: Matt provided wording.]
Rationale:
There isn't any real doubt about what these operators are supposed to do, but we ought to spell it out.
