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

Exchanges the stored pointer values and the ownerships of *this and r. Reference counts, if any, are not adjusted.

Run this code

#include #include #include   struct Foo { Foo(int _val) : val(_val) { std::cout << "Foo...\n"; } Foo() { std::cout << "Foo...\n"; } std::string print() { return std::to_string(val); } int val; };   int main() { std::shared_ptr p1 = std::make_shared(100); std::shared_ptr p2 = std::make_shared(200); auto print = & { std::cout << " p1=" << (p1 ? p1->print() : "nullptr"); std::cout << " p2=" << (p2 ? p2->print() : "nullptr") << '\n';
}; print();   p1.swap(p2); print();   p1.reset(); print();   p1.swap(p2); print();
}

Output:

Foo... Foo... p1=100 p2=200 p1=200 p2=100 ~Foo... p1=nullptr p2=100 p1=100 p2=nullptr ~Foo...
