Discussion:

Class template `packaged_task` in 33.10.10 [futures.task] shows a member `swap` declaration, but misses to document it's effects (No prototype provided). Further on this class misses to provide a non-member swap.

> Alisdair notes that paragraph 2 of the proposed resolution has already been applied in the current Working Draft.

> We note a pending `future`-related paper by Detlef; we would like to wait for this paper before proceeding.

> Move to Open.

[ 2009-05-24 Daniel removed part 2 of the proposed resolution. ]

[ 2009-10 post-Santa Cruz: ]

> Move to Tentatively Ready, removing bullet 3 from the proposed resolution but keeping the other two bullets.

[ 2010 Pittsburgh: ]

> Moved to NAD Editorial Resolved. Rationale added below.

Rationale:

Solved by N3058.

Proposed resolution:

1. In 33.10.10 [futures.task], immediately after the definition of class template packaged_task add:

   >     template<class R, class... Argtypes>
   >     void swap(packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>&, packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>&);

2. At the end of 33.10.10 [futures.task] (after p. 20), add the following prototype description:

   >     template<class R, class... Argtypes>
   >     void swap(packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>& x, packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>& y);

   > > Effects: `x.swap(y)`

   > > Throws: Nothing.
