Discussion:
When the LWG looked at 674 in Kona the following note was made:
We may need to open an issue to deal with the question of whether
shared_ptr
needs an rvalueswap
.
This issue was opened in response to that note.
I believe allowing rvalue shared_ptr
s to swap
is both
appropriate, and consistent with how other library components are currently specified.
[ Bellevue: ]
Concern that the three signatures for swap is needlessly complicated, but this issue merely brings shared_ptr into equal complexity with the rest of the library. Will open a new issue for concern about triplicate signatures.
Adopt issue as written.
Proposed resolution:
Change the synopsis in 20.3.2.2 [util.smartptr.shared]:
void swap(shared_ptr&& r); ... template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>& a, shared_ptr<T>& b); template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>&& a, shared_ptr<T>& b); template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>& a, shared_ptr<T>&& b);
Change 20.3.2.2.5 [util.smartptr.shared.mod]:
void swap(shared_ptr&& r);
Change 20.3.2.2.9 [util.smartptr.shared.spec]:
template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>& a, shared_ptr<T>& b); template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>&& a, shared_ptr<T>& b); template<class T> void swap(shared_ptr<T>& a, shared_ptr<T>&& b);
