Edit: apologies, I'm blind; never mind. I thought I double-checked but the use of > instead of < tripped me up.

  Stepanov disagrees. You should return the second parameter if a, b are equivalent (and you should use < anyway): template<typename T> inline constexpr const T& max(const T& a, const T& b) { return (b < a ? a : b); }

    What’s the reasoning behind this?

      I think to be comparable in c++ types are required to implement < operator and the same is exclusively used by the stdlib.

      If you sort2(a, b), it would be nice if min(a, b) == a && max(a, b) == b.
