value::swap
PrevUpHomeNext

Swap the given values.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/json/value.hpp>

void
swap(
    value& lhs,
    value& rhs);
Description

Exchanges the contents of value lhs with another value rhs. Ownership of the respective boost::container::pmr::memory_resource objects is not transferred.

  • If *lhs.storage() == *rhs.storage(), ownership of the underlying memory is swapped in constant time, with no possibility of exceptions. All iterators and references remain valid.
  • If *lhs.storage() != *rhs.storage, the contents are logically swapped by a copy, which can throw. In this case all iterators and references are invalidated.
Effects
lhs.swap( rhs );
Complexity

Constant or linear in the sum of the sizes of the values.

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to memory_resource::allocate may throw.

Parameters

Name

Description

lhs

The value to exchange.

rhs

The value to exchange. If &lhs == &rhs, this function call has no effect.
