在C++ Reference中查看了一下next_permutation的函数声明：

#include <algorithm>
bool next_permutation( iterator start, iterator end );

The next_permutation() function attempts to transform the given range of elements [start,end) into the next lexicographically greater permutation of elements. If it succeeds, it returns true, otherwise, it returns false.

从说明中可以看到 next_permutation 的返回值是布尔类型。按照提示写了一个标准C++程序：

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    string str;
    cin >> str;
    sort(str.begin(), str.end());
    cout << str << endl;
    while (next_permutation(str.begin(), str.end()))
    {
        cout << str << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

// next_permutation example
#include <iostream>     // std::cout
#include <algorithm>    // std::next_permutation, std::sort

int main () {
  int myints[] = {1,2,3};

  std::sort (myints,myints+3);

  std::cout << "The 3! possible permutations with 3 elements:\n";
  do {
    std::cout << myints[0] << ' ' << myints[1] << ' ' << myints[2] << '\n';
  } while ( std::next_permutation(myints,myints+3) );

  std::cout << "After loop: " << myints[0] << ' ' << myints[1] << ' ' << myints[2] << '\n';

  return 0;
}

参考：cplusplus手册，使用STL的next_permutation函数生成全排列(C++)
