## Description
`owner_less<T>` is a helper function object that compares two smart
pointer objects using `owner_before`. It is only provided for compatibility
with {cpp}11 and corresponds to the standard component of the same name.
When using Boost smart pointers, the use of `owner_less` is unnecessary, as
the supplied `operator<` overloads (and, correspondingly, `std::less`) return
the same result.
## Synopsis
`owner_less` is defined in `<boost/smart_ptr/owner_less.hpp>`.
```
namespace boost {
template<class T = void> struct owner_less
{
typedef bool result_type;
typedef T first_argument_type;
typedef T second_argument_type;
template<class U, class V> bool operator()( U const & u, V const & v ) const noexcept;
};
}
```
## Members
```
template<class U, class V> bool operator()( U const & u, V const & v ) const noexcept;
```
[none]
* {blank}

Returns::
`u.owner_before( v )`.
