Helper types

1) Exchanges elements between first range [first1, first1 + M) and second range [first2, first2 + M) via ranges::iter_swap(first1 + i, first2 + i), where M = ranges::min(ranges::distance(first1, last1), ranges::distance(first2, last2)).

The ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) must not overlap.

2) Same as (1), but uses r1 as the first range and r2 as the second range, as if using ranges::begin(r1) as first1, ranges::end(r1) as last1, ranges::begin(r2) as first2, and ranges::end(r2) as last2.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

• Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
• None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup.
• When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.

Parameters

first1, last1	-	the iterator-sentinel pair defining the first range of elements to swap
first2, last2	-	the iterator-sentinel pair defining the second range of elements to swap
r1	-	the first range of elements to swap
r2	-	the second range of elements to swap.

Return value

{first1 + M, first2 + M}.

Complexity

Exactly M swaps.

Notes

Implementations (e.g. MSVC STL) may enable vectorization when the iterator type models contiguous_iterator and swapping its value type calls neither non-trivial special member function nor ADL-found swap.

Possible implementation

struct swap_ranges_fn { template<std::input_iterator I1, std::sentinel_for<I1> S1, std::input_iterator I2, std::sentinel_for<I2> S2> requires std::indirectly_swappable<I1, I2> constexpr ranges::swap_ranges_result<I1, I2> operator()(I1 first1, S1 last1, I2 first2, S2 last2) const { for (; !(first1 == last1 or first2 == last2); ++first1, ++first2) ranges::iter_swap(first1, first2); return {std::move(first1), std::move(first2)}; }   template<ranges::input_range R1, ranges::input_range R2> requires std::indirectly_swappable<ranges::iterator_t<R1>, ranges::iterator_t<R2>> constexpr ranges::swap_ranges_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R1>, ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R2>> operator()(R1&& r1, R2&& r2) const { return (*this)(ranges::begin(r1), ranges::end(r1), ranges::begin(r2), ranges::end(r2)); } };   inline constexpr swap_ranges_fn swap_ranges {};

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <string_view>
#include <vector>
 
auto print(std::string_view name, auto const& seq, std::string_view term = "\n")
{
    std::cout << name << " : ";
    for (const auto& elem : seq)
        std::cout << elem << ' ';
    std::cout << term;
}
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<char> p {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'};
    std::list<char> q {'1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6'};
 
    print("p", p);
    print("q", q, "\n\n");
 
    // swap p[0, 2) and q[1, 3):
    std::ranges::swap_ranges(p.begin(),
                             p.begin() + 4,
                             std::ranges::next(q.begin(), 1),
                             std::ranges::next(q.begin(), 3));
    print("p", p);
    print("q", q, "\n\n");
 
    // swap p[0, 5) and q[0, 5):
    std::ranges::swap_ranges(p, q);
 
    print("p", p);
    print("q", q);
}

Output:

p : A B C D E
q : 1 2 3 4 5 6
 
p : 2 3 C D E
q : 1 A B 4 5 6
 
p : 1 A B 4 5
q : 2 3 C D E 6
