// Example 2: Using an auto_ptr
//
void g()
{
T* pt1 = new T;
// right now, we own the allocated object
// pass ownership to an auto_ptr
auto_ptr<T> pt2( pt1 );
// use the auto_ptr the same way
// we'd use a simple pointer
*pt2 = 12; // same as "*pt1 = 12;"
pt2->SomeFunc(); // same as "pt1->SomeFunc();"
// use get() to see the pointer value
assert( pt1 == pt2.get() );
// use release() to take back ownership
T* pt3 = pt2.release();
// delete the object ourselves, since now
// no auto_ptr owns it any more
delete pt3;
} // pt2 doesn't own any pointer, and so won't
// try to delete it... OK, no double delete

// Example 3: Using reset()
//
void h()
{
auto_ptr<T> pt( new T(1) );
pt.reset( new T(2) );
// deletes the first T that was
// allocated with "new T(1)"
} // finally, pt goes out of scope and
// the second T is also deleted
auto_ptr(auto_ptr<_Ty>& _Right) _THROW0()
: _Myptr(_Right.release())
{ // construct by assuming pointer from _Right auto_ptr
}
template<class _Other>
auto_ptr<_Ty>& operator=(auto_ptr<_Other>& _Right) _THROW0()
{ // assign compatible _Right (assume pointer)
reset(_Right.release());
return (*this);
}
// Example 6: Never try to do work through
// a non-owning auto_ptr
//
void f()
{
auto_ptr<T> pt1( new T );
auto_ptr<T> pt2;
pt2 = pt1; // now pt2 owns the pointer, and
// pt1 does not
pt1->DoSomething();
// error: following a null pointer
}
