template< class T, class U = T >
T exchange( T& obj, U&& new_value );
Replaces the value of obj with new_value and returns the old value of obj.
[edit] Parameters obj - object whose value to replace new_value - the value to assign to obj Type requirements -T
must meet the requirements of MoveConstructible. Also, it must be possible to move-assign objects of type U
to objects of type T
. [edit] Return value
The old value of obj.
[edit] Exceptions [edit] Possible implementation [edit] Notesstd::exchange
can be used when implementing move constructors and, for the members that don't require special cleanup, move assignment operators:
struct S { int n; S(S&& other) noexcept : n{std::exchange(other.n, 0)} {} S& operator=(S&& other) noexcept { n = std::exchange(other.n, 0); // Move n, while leaving zero in other.n // Note: in case of self-move-assignment, n is unchanged // Also note: if n is an opaque resource handle that requires // special cleanup, the resource is leaked. return *this; } };[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <utility> #include <vector> class stream { public: using flags_type = int; public: flags_type flags() const { return flags_; } // Replaces flags_ by newf, and returns the old value. flags_type flags(flags_type newf) { return std::exchange(flags_, newf); } private: flags_type flags_ = 0; }; void f() { std::cout << "f()"; } int main() { stream s; std::cout << s.flags() << '\n'; std::cout << s.flags(12) << '\n'; std::cout << s.flags() << "\n\n"; std::vector<int> v; // Since the second template parameter has a default value, it is possible // to use a braced-init-list as second argument. The expression below // is equivalent to std::exchange(v, std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3, 4}); std::exchange(v, {1, 2, 3, 4}); std::copy(begin(v), end(v), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, ", ")); std::cout << "\n\n"; void (*fun)(); // The default value of template parameter also makes possible to use a // normal function as second argument. The expression below is equivalent to // std::exchange(fun, static_cast<void(*)()>(f)) std::exchange(fun, f); fun(); std::cout << "\n\nFibonacci sequence: "; for (int a{0}, b{1}; a < 100; a = std::exchange(b, a + b)) std::cout << a << ", "; std::cout << "...\n"; }
Output:
0 0 12 1, 2, 3, 4, f() Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...[edit] See also
