Detailed Description
template<typename _Tp>class std::auto_ptr< _Tp >
A simple smart pointer providing strict ownership semantics.
The Standard says:
An auto_ptr owns the object it holds a pointer to. Copying
an auto_ptr copies the pointer and transfers ownership to the
destination. If more than one auto_ptr owns the same object
at the same time the behavior of the program is undefined.
The uses of auto_ptr include providing temporary
exception-safety for dynamically allocated memory, passing
ownership of dynamically allocated memory to a function, and
returning dynamically allocated memory from a function. auto_ptr does not meet the CopyConstructible and Assignable
requirements for Standard Library container elements and thus
instantiating a Standard Library container with an auto_ptr results in undefined behavior.
Quoted from [20.4.5]/3.
Good examples of what can and cannot be done with auto_ptr can be found
in the libstdc++ testsuite.

Member Typedef Documentation
template<typename _Tp> typedef _Tp std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::element_type

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
template<typename _Tp> std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::auto_ptr (element_type *__p =
0) [inline], [explicit]
An auto_ptr is usually constructed from a raw pointer.
Parameters:
__p A pointer (defaults to NULL).
This object now owns the object pointed to by __p.
Definition at line 103 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::auto_ptr (auto_ptr< _Tp >
&__a) [inline]
An auto_ptr can be constructed from another auto_ptr.
Parameters:
__a Another auto_ptr of the same type.
This object now owns the object previously owned by __a, which has
given up ownership.
Definition at line 112 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> template<typename _Tp1 > std::auto_ptr< _Tp
>::auto_ptr (auto_ptr< _Tp1 > &__a) [inline]
An auto_ptr can be constructed from another auto_ptr.
Parameters:
__a Another auto_ptr of a different but related type.
A pointer-to-Tp1 must be convertible to a pointer-to-Tp/element_type.
This object now owns the object previously owned by __a, which has
given up ownership.
Definition at line 125 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::~auto_ptr () [inline]
When the auto_ptr goes out of scope, the object it owns is deleted. If
it no longer owns anything (i.e., get() is NULL), then this has no
effect.
The C++ standard says there is supposed to be an empty throw
specification here, but omitting it is standard conforming. Its
presence can be detected only if _Tp::~_Tp() throws, but this is
prohibited. [17.4.3.6]/2
Definition at line 170 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::auto_ptr (auto_ptr_ref<
element_type >__ref) [inline]
Automatic conversions. These operations convert an auto_ptr into and
from an auto_ptr_ref automatically as needed. This allows constructs
such as
* auto_ptr<Derived> func_returning_auto_ptr(.....);
* ...
* auto_ptr<Base> ptr = func_returning_auto_ptr(.....);
*

Member Function Documentation
template<typename _Tp> element_type* std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::get (void) const
[inline]
Bypassing the smart pointer.
Returns:
The raw pointer being managed.
You can get a copy of the pointer that this object owns, for situations
such as passing to a function which only accepts a raw pointer.
Note:
This auto_ptr still owns the memory.
Definition at line 211 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> element_type& std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::operator* ()
const [inline]
Smart pointer dereferencing. If this auto_ptr no longer owns anything,
then this operation will crash. (For a smart pointer, no longer owns
anything is the same as being a null pointer, and you know what happens
when you dereference one of those...)
Definition at line 181 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> element_type* std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::operator-> ()
const [inline]
Smart pointer dereferencing. This returns the pointer itself, which the
language then will automatically cause to be dereferenced.
Definition at line 194 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> auto_ptr& std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::operator= (auto_ptr<
_Tp > &__a) [inline]
auto_ptr assignment operator.
Parameters:
__a Another auto_ptr of the same type.
This object now owns the object previously owned by __a, which has
given up ownership. The object that this one used to own and track has
been deleted.
Definition at line 136 of file auto_ptr.h.
References std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::reset().
template<typename _Tp> template<typename _Tp1 > auto_ptr& std::auto_ptr<
_Tp >::operator= (auto_ptr< _Tp1 > &__a) [inline]
auto_ptr assignment operator.
Parameters:
__a Another auto_ptr of a different but related type.
A pointer-to-Tp1 must be convertible to a pointer-to-Tp/element_type.
This object now owns the object previously owned by __a, which has
given up ownership. The object that this one used to own and track has
been deleted.

References std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::reset().
template<typename _Tp> element_type* std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::release ()
[inline]
Bypassing the smart pointer.
Returns:
The raw pointer being managed.
You can get a copy of the pointer that this object owns, for situations
such as passing to a function which only accepts a raw pointer.
Note:
This auto_ptr no longer owns the memory. When this object goes out
of scope, nothing will happen.
Definition at line 225 of file auto_ptr.h.
template<typename _Tp> void std::auto_ptr< _Tp >::reset (element_type *__p
= 0) [inline]
Forcibly deletes the managed object.
Parameters:
__p A pointer (defaults to NULL).
This object now owns the object pointed to by __p. The previous object
has been deleted.
