std::promise is missing a non-member overload of swap. This is inconsistent with other types that provide a swap member function.

Add a non-member overload void swap(promise&& x,promise&& y){ x.swap(y); }

NAD EditorialResolved. Addressed by N2997.

Proposed resolution:

1. In 32.10.6 [futures.promise], before p.1, immediately after class template promise add:

   
   template <class R>
   void swap(promise<R>& x, promise<R>& y);
   
   

2. Change 32.10.6 [futures.promise]/10 as indicated (to fix a circular definition):

   -10- Effects: swap(*this, other)Swaps the associated state of *this and other

   Throws: Nothing.

3. After the last paragraph in 32.10.6 [futures.promise] add the following prototype description:

   
   template <class R>
   void swap(promise<R>& x, promise<R>& y);
   

   Effects: x.swap(y)

   Throws: Nothing.
