std::swap(std::stack)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | stack
 
 
 
 
Defined in header <stack>
template< class T, class Container >

void swap( std::stack<T, Container>& lhs,

           std::stack<T, Container>& rhs );
(since C++11)
(until C++17)
template< class T, class Container >

void swap( std::stack<T, Container>& lhs,
           std::stack<T, Container>& rhs )

               noexcept(/* see below */);
(since C++17)
Specializes the std::swap algorithm for std::stack. Swaps the contents of lhs and rhs. Calls lhs.swap(rhs).

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_swappable_v<Container> is true.

(since C++17)

Contents

[edit] Parameters

lhs, rhs - containers whose contents to swap

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Complexity

Same as swapping the underlying container.

Exceptions

noexcept specification:  
noexcept(noexcept(lhs.swap(rhs)))
(since C++17)

Notes

Although the overloads of std::swap for container adaptors are introduced in C++11, container adaptors can already be swapped by std::swap in C++98. Such calls to std::swap usually have linear time complexity, but better complexity may be provided.

[edit] Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
 
int main()
{
    std::stack<int> alice;
    std::stack<int> bob;
 
    auto print = [](const auto& title, const auto& cont)
    {
        std::cout << title << " size=" << cont.size();
        std::cout << " top=" << cont.top() << '\n';
    };
 
    for (int i = 1; i < 4; ++i)
        alice.push(i);
    for (int i = 7; i < 11; ++i)
        bob.push(i);
 
    // Print state before swap
    print("Alice:", alice);
    print("Bob  :", bob);
 
    std::cout << "-- SWAP\n";
    std::swap(alice, bob);
 
    // Print state after swap
    print("Alice:", alice);
    print("Bob  :", bob);
}

Output:

Alice: size=3 top=3
Bob  : size=4 top=10
-- SWAP
Alice: size=4 top=10
Bob  : size=3 top=3
