        <div>
        <pre>I could be wrong, but I think that iter_swap() shouldn't have any exception
specification because it doesn't appear in the standard (nor in libstdc++ nor
MSVC standard library) and so its presence in libc++ where it's defined, in my
copy of /usr/include/c++/v1/type_traits as

template <class _ForwardIterator1, class _ForwardIterator2>
inline _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY
void
iter_swap(_ForwardIterator1 __a, _ForwardIterator2 __b)
    //                                  _NOEXCEPT_(_NOEXCEPT_(swap(*__a,
*__b)))
               _NOEXCEPT_(_NOEXCEPT_(swap(*_VSTD::declval<_ForwardIterator1>(),
                                         
*_VSTD::declval<_ForwardIterator2>())))
{ ... }

makes it impossible to write portable code specializing iter_swap() as it needs
to use the noexcept() specification above for libc++ and for libc++ only, e.g.
the same code can't compile even when using the same clang compiler for both
-stdlib=libc++ and -stdlib=libstdc++.

Moreover, in my particular case, I specialize iter_swap() in the first place
because swap() can't be used for my iterator type as iterator::reference is a
proxy object and not iterator::value_type&, so the swap() call inside
noexcept() above doesn't compile and makes it completely impossible to use
iter_swap() with this iterator AFAICS.</pre>
