iter_swap(std::move_iterator)

template< std::indirectly_swappable<Iter> Iter2 >
    friend constexpr void
        iter_swap( const move_iterator& x, const std::move_iterator<Iter2>& y )
            noexcept(/*see below*/);
 (since C++20)

Swaps the objects pointed to by two underlying iterators. The function body is equivalent to ranges::iter_swap(x.base(), y.base());.

This function template is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std::move_iterator<Iter> is an associated class of the arguments.

Parameters

x, y - move iterators to the elements to swap

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

noexcept specification:
noexcept(noexcept(ranges::iter_swap(x.base(), y.base())))

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> p{"AA", "EE"},
                             q{"ⱯⱯ", "ƎƎ"};
 
    std::move_iterator<std::vector<std::string>::iterator>
        x = std::make_move_iterator(p.begin()),
        y = std::make_move_iterator(q.begin());
 
    std::cout << *x << ' ' << *y << '\n';
 
    iter_swap(x, y); // ADL
 
    std::cout << *x << ' ' << *y << '\n';
}

Output:

AA ⱯⱯ
ⱯⱯ AA
