#define BOOST_UTILITY_SWAP_HPP
// Note: the implementation of this utility contains various workarounds:
// - swap_impl is put outside the boost namespace, to avoid infinite
// recursion (causing stack overflow) when swapping objects of a primitive
// type.
// - swap_impl has a using-directive, rather than a using-declaration,
// because some compilers (including MSVC 7.1, Borland 5.9.3, and
// Intel 8.1) don't do argument-dependent lookup when it has a
// using-declaration instead.
// - boost::swap has two template arguments, instead of one, to
// avoid ambiguity when swapping objects of a Boost type that does
// not have its own boost::swap overload.
#include <algorithm> //for std::swap
#include <cstddef> //for std::size_t
