// Provide a way to compare values of unspecified types without compiler errors
// when no operator==() is provided for a given type. This is important to
// allow Any class to have operator==(), yet still allowing arbitrary types
// (not necessarily comparable) to be placed inside Any without resulting in
// compile-time error.
//
// We achieve this in two ways. First, we provide a IsEqualityComparable<T>
// class that can be used in compile-time conditions to determine if there is
// operator==() defined that takes values of type T (or which can be implicitly
// converted to type T). Secondly, this allows us to specialize a helper
// compare function EqCompare<T>(v1, v2) to use operator==() for types that
// are comparable, and just return false for those that are not.
//
// IsEqualityComparableHelper<T> is a helper class for implementing an
// an STL-compatible IsEqualityComparable<T> containing a Boolean member |value|
// which evaluates to true for comparable types and false otherwise.
template<typename T>
struct IsEqualityComparableHelper {
  struct IntWrapper {
    // A special structure that provides a constructor that takes an int.
    // This way, an int argument passed to a function will be favored over
    // IntWrapper when both overloads are provided.
    // Also this constructor must NOT be explicit.
    // NOLINTNEXTLINE(runtime/explicit)
    // NOLINT: Allow implicit conversion from int.
    IntWrapper(int /* dummy */) {}  // do nothing, NOLINT
  };

  // Here is an obscure trick to determine if a type U has operator==().
  // We are providing two function prototypes for TriggerFunction. One that
  // takes an argument of type IntWrapper (which is implicitly convertible from
  // an int), and returns an std::false_type. This is a fall-back mechanism.
  template<typename U>
  static std::false_type TriggerFunction(IntWrapper dummy);

  // The second overload of TriggerFunction takes an int (explicitly) and
  // returns std::true_type. If both overloads are available, this one will be
  // chosen when referencing it as TriggerFunction(0), since it is a better
  // (more specific) match.
  //
  // However this overload is available only for types that support operator==.
  // This is achieved by employing SFINAE mechanism inside a template function
  // overload that refers to operator==() for two values of types U&. This is
  // used inside decltype(), so no actual code is executed. If the types
  // are not comparable, reference to "==" would fail and the compiler will
  // simply ignore this overload due to SFIANE.
  //
  // The final little trick used here is the reliance on operator comma inside
  // the decltype() expression. The result of the expression is always
  // std::true_type(). The expression on the left of comma is just evaluated and
  // discarded. If it evaluates successfully (i.e. the type has operator==), the
  // return value of the function is set to be std::true_value. If it fails,
  // the whole function prototype is discarded and is not available in the
  // IsEqualityComparableHelper<T> class.
  //
  // Here we use std::declval<U&>() to make sure we have operator==() that takes
  // lvalue references to type U which is not necessarily default-constructible.
  template<typename U>
  static decltype((std::declval<U&>() == std::declval<U&>()), std::true_type())
  TriggerFunction(int dummy);

  // Finally, use the return type of the overload of TriggerFunction that
  // matches the argument (int) to be aliased to type |type|. If T is
  // comparable, there will be two overloads and the more specific (int) will
  // be chosen which returns std::true_value. If the type is non-comparable,
  // there will be only one version of TriggerFunction available which
  // returns std::false_value.
  using type = decltype(TriggerFunction<T>(0));
};

// IsEqualityComparable<T> is simply a class that derives from either
// std::true_value, if type T is comparable, or from std::false_value, if the
// type is non-comparable. We just use |type| alias from
// IsEqualityComparableHelper<T> as the base class.
