Defined in header <iterator>
inline namespace /*unspecified*/ {     inline constexpr /*unspecified*/ iter_swap = /*unspecified*/; }		(since C++20) (customization point object)
Call signature
template< class I1, class I2 >     requires /* see below */ constexpr void iter_swap( I1&& i1, I2&& i2 ) noexcept(/* see below */);		(since C++20)

Swaps values denoted by two iterators.

A call to ranges::iter_swap is expression-equivalent to:

1. (void)iter_swap(std::forward<I1>(i1), std::forward<I2>(i2)), if either std::remove_cvref_t<I1> or std::remove_cvref_t<I2> is a class or enumeration type and the expression is well-formed in unevaluated context, where the overload resolution is performed with the following candidates:
   • void iter_swap(auto, auto) = delete;
   • any declarations of iter_swap found by argument-dependent lookup.

   If the selected overload does not exchange the value denoted by i1 and i2, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

2. otherwise, ranges::swap(*std::forward<I1>(i1), *std::forward<I2>(i2)) if both I1 and I2 model indirectly_readable and if std::iter_reference_t<I1> and std::iter_reference_t<I2> model swappable_with.
3. otherwise, (void)(*std::forward<I1>(i1) = /*iter_exchange_move*/(std::forward<I2>(i2), std::forward<I1>(i1))), if I1 and I2 model std::indirectly_movable_storable<I1, I2> and std::indirectly_movable_storable<I2, I1>, where iter_exchange_move is an expositon-only function template described below.

In all other cases, a call to ranges::iter_swap is ill-formed, which can result in substitution failure when ranges::iter_swap(e1, e2) appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

The exposition-only function template iter_exchange_move is equivalently defined as:

template<class X, class Y>
constexpr std::iter_value_t<X> /*iter_exchange_move*/(X&& x, Y&& y)
    noexcept(noexcept(std::iter_value_t<X>(std::ranges::iter_move(x)) &&
             noexcept(*x = std::ranges::iter_move(y))))
{
    std::iter_value_t<X> old(std::ranges::iter_move(x));
    *x = std::ranges::iter_move(y);
    return old;
}

Expression-equivalent

Expression e is expression-equivalent to expression f, if e and f have the same effects, either are both potentially-throwing or are both not potentially-throwing (i.e. noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)), and either are both constant subexpressions or are both not constant subexpressions.

Customization point objects

The name ranges::iter_swap denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. For exposition purposes, the cv-unqualified version of its type is denoted as __iter_swap_fn.

All instances of __iter_swap_fn are equal. The effects of invoking different instances of type __iter_swap_fn on the same arguments are equivalent, regardless of whether the expression denoting the instance is an lvalue or rvalue, and is const-qualified or not (however, a volatile-qualified instance is not required to be invocable). Thus, ranges::iter_swap can be copied freely and its copies can be used interchangeably.

Given a set of types Args..., if std::declval<Args>()... meet the requirements for arguments to ranges::iter_swap above, __iter_swap_fn models std::invocable<__iter_swap_fn, Args...>, std::invocable<const __iter_swap_fn, Args...>, std::invocable<__iter_swap_fn&, Args...>, and std::invocable<const __iter_swap_fn&, Args...>. Otherwise, no function call operator of __iter_swap_fn participates in overload resolution.
