Returns true if there exists a permutation of the elements in the range [first1, last1) that makes that range equal to the range [first2,last2), where last2 denotes first2 + (last1 - first1) if it was not given.

1,3) Elements are compared using operator==. The behavior is undefined if it is not an equivalence relation.
2,4) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p. The behavior is undefined if it is not an equivalence relation.

Parameters

first1, last1 - the range of elements to compare
first2, last2 - the second range to compare
p - binary predicate which returns ​true if the elements should be treated as equal.

The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:

bool pred(const Type &a, const Type &b);

Type should be the value type of both ForwardIt1 and ForwardIt2. The signature does not need to have const &, but the function must not modify the objects passed to it. ​

Type requirements
-ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
-ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must have the same value type.

Return value

true if the range [first1, last1) is a permutation of the range [first2, last2).

Complexity

At most O(N2) applications of the predicate, or exactly N if the sequences are already equal, where N=std::distance(first1, last1).

However if ForwardIt1 and ForwardIt2 meet the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator and std::distance(first1, last1) != std::distance(first2, last2) no applications of the predicate are made.

Possible implementation

template<class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2>
bool is_permutation(ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 last,
                    ForwardIt2 d_first)
{
   // skip common prefix
   std::tie(first, d_first) = std::mismatch(first, last, d_first);
   // iterate over the rest, counting how many times each element
   // from [first, last) appears in [d_first, d_last)
   if (first != last) {
       ForwardIt2 d_last = d_first;
       std::advance(d_last, std::distance(first, last));
       for (ForwardIt1 i = first; i != last; ++i) {
            if (i != std::find(first, i, *i)) continue; // already counted this *i
 
            auto m = std::count(d_first, d_last, *i);
            if (m==0 || std::count(i, last, *i) != m) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v1{1,2,3,4,5};
    std::vector<int> v2{3,5,4,1,2};
    std::cout << "3,5,4,1,2 is a permutation of 1,2,3,4,5? "
              << std::boolalpha
              << std::is_permutation(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin()) << '\n';
 
    std::vector<int> v3{3,5,4,1,1};
    std::cout << "3,5,4,1,1 is a permutation of 1,2,3,4,5? "
              << std::boolalpha
              << std::is_permutation(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v3.begin()) << '\n';
}

Output:

3,5,4,1,2 is a permutation of 1,2,3,4,5? true
3,5,4,1,1 is a permutation of 1,2,3,4,5? false
