iter_swap(std::common_iterator)

Swaps the objects pointed to by two underlying iterators. The behavior is undefined if x does not hold an I object or y does not hold an I2 object (i.e. at least one of x and y does not hold an iterator).

# Declarations

template< std::indirectly_swappable<I> I2, class S2 >
friend constexpr void
iter_swap( const common_iterator& x,
const std::common_iterator<I2, S2>& y ) noexcept(/*see below*/);

(since C++20)

#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
int main()

                   >;
 
    CI first1{std::counted_iterator{v1.begin(), 3}};
    CI first2{std::counted_iterator{v2.begin(), 4}};
    CI last{std::default_sentinel};
 
    auto print = [&](auto rem)
    {
        std::cout << rem << "v1 = ";
        std::ranges::copy(v1, std::ostream_iterator<std::string>{std::cout, " "});
        std::cout << "\nv2 = ";
        std::ranges::copy(v2, std::ostream_iterator<std::string>{std::cout, " "});
        std::cout << '\n';
    };
 
    print("Before iter_swap:\n");
 
    for (; first1 != last && first2 != last; ++first1, ++first2)
        iter_swap(first1, first2); // ADL
 
    print("After iter_swap:\n");
