std::multiset<Key,Compare,Allocator>::swap

Since C++17

Exchanges the contents of the container with those of other. Does not invoke any move, copy, or swap operations on individual elements.

# Declarations

void swap( multiset& other );

(until C++17)

void swap( multiset& other ) noexcept(/* see below */);

(since C++17)

# Parameters

# Example

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
 
template<class Os, class Co>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const Co& co)
{
    os << '{';
    for (auto const& i : co)
        os << ' ' << i;
    return os << " } ";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::multiset<int> a1{3, 1, 3, 2}, a2{5, 4, 5};
 
    auto it1 = std::next(a1.begin());
    auto it2 = std::next(a2.begin());
 
    const int& ref1 = *(a1.begin());
    const int& ref2 = *(a2.begin());
 
    std::cout << a1 << a2 << *it1 << ' ' << *it2 << ' ' << ref1 << ' ' << ref2 << '\n';
    a1.swap(a2);
    std::cout << a1 << a2 << *it1 << ' ' << *it2 << ' ' << ref1 << ' ' << ref2 << '\n';
 
    // Note that every iterator referring to an element in one container before the swap
    // refers to the same element in the other container after the swap. Same is true
    // for references.
 
    struct Cmp : std::less<int>
    {
        int id{};
        Cmp(int i) : id{i} {}
    };
 
    std::multiset<int, Cmp> s1{{2, 2, 1, 1}, Cmp{6}}, s2{{4, 4, 3, 3}, Cmp{9}};
 
    std::cout << s1 << s2 << s1.key_comp().id << ' ' << s2.key_comp().id << '\n';
    s1.swap(s2);
    std::cout << s1 << s2 << s1.key_comp().id << ' ' << s2.key_comp().id << '\n';
 
    // So, comparator objects (Cmp) are also exchanged after the swap.
