Name hiding by using declaration
问题 #include <iostream> struct H { void swap(H &rhs); }; void swap(H &, H &) { std::cout << "swap(H &t1, H &t2)" << std::endl; } void H::swap(H &rhs) { using std::swap; swap(*this, rhs); } int main(void) { H a; H b; a.swap(b); } And this is the result: swap(H &t1, H &t2) In the code above, I try to define a swap function of H . In the function void H::swap(H &rhs) , I use an using declaration to make the name std::swap visible. If there isn't an using declaration, the code cannot be compiled
