Description
### Is this a duplicate?
- [X] I confirmed there appear to be no [duplicate issues](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues) for this bug and that I agree to the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
### Type of Bug
Compile-time Error
### Component
Thrust
### Describe the bug
`thrust::device_reference` does not compile when used with a type that defines `operator==` as a member function:
```
thrust/detail/internal_functional.h(136): error: no operator "==" matches these operands
operand types are: const thrust::device_reference == const foo
return lhs == rhs;
```
A quick WAR is to change the member function into a friend function, as shown in the example.
### How to Reproduce
```
#include
#include
// Define to apply work-around
//#define USE_WAR
struct foo
{
#ifndef USE_WAR
// Doesn't compile:
__host__ __device__
bool operator==(const foo&) const
{
return true;
}
#else
// Compiles:
__host__ __device__
friend bool operator==(const foo&, const foo&)
{
return true;
}
#endif
};
int main()
{
thrust::device_vector vec;
thrust::count(vec.cbegin(), vec.cend(), foo{});
}
```
### Expected behavior
The example should compile when `USE_WAR` is undefined.
