std::swap(std::optional) - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Overloads the std::swap algorithm for std::optional. Exchanges the state of lhs with that of rhs. Effectively calls lhs.swap(rhs).

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_move_constructible_v<T> and std::is_swappable_v<T> are both true.

[edit] Parameters

lhs, rhs - optional objects whose states to swap

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { std::optional<std::string> a{"██████"}, b{"▒▒▒▒▒▒"};   auto print = [&](auto const& s) { std::cout << s << "\t" "a = " << a.value_or("(null)") << " " "b = " << b.value_or("(null)") << '\n'; };   print("Initially:"); std::swap(a, b); print("swap(a, b):"); a.reset(); print("\n""a.reset():"); std::swap(a, b); print("swap(a, b):"); }

Output:

Initially: a = ██████ b = ▒▒▒▒▒▒ swap(a, b): a = ▒▒▒▒▒▒ b = ██████   a.reset(): a = (null) b = ██████ swap(a, b): a = ██████ b = (null)

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
P2231R1 C++20 swap was not constexpr while the required operations can be constexpr in C++20 made constexpr
