fn main() {
let x = 1;
let y = 2;
let mut xx = &x;
let mut yy = &y;
println!("{} {}", xx, yy);
let tmp = xx;
xx = yy;
yy = tmp;
println!("{} {}", xx, yy);
}
1 2
2 1

这样是可以的。但是如果是在函数里交换传进来的两个引用:

fn foo(x: &i32, y: &i32) {
let tmp = x;
x = y;
y = tmp;
println!("{} {}", x, y);
}

fn main() {
let x = 1;
let y = 2;
foo(&x, &y);
}

就会报lifetime有关的错误:

error[E0623]: lifetime mismatch
--> learn_swap_two_references.rs:4:9
|
1 | fn foo(mut x: &i32, mut y: &i32) {
| ---- ----
| |
| these two types are declared with different lifetimes...
...
4 | y = tmp;
| ^^^ ...but data from `x` flows into `y` here

error[E0623]: lifetime mismatch
--> learn_swap_two_references.rs:3:9

1 | fn foo(mut x: &i32, mut y: &i32) {

2 | let tmp = x;
3 | x = y;

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0623`.

这是因为交换引用的时候,两个引用的生命周期必须是相等的,因此在函数参数里指定两个引用的生命周期相同即可:

fn foo<'a>(mut x: &'a i32, mut y: &'a i32) {
2 1

当然,也可以用​​swap​​:

use std::mem::swap;
fn foo<'a>(mut x: &'a i32, mut y: &'a i32) {
swap(&mut x, &mut y);
println!("{} {}", x, y);
}
