/* gnu::unique_ptr defines a C++ owning smart pointer that exposes a
subset of the std::unique_ptr API.
In fact, when compiled with a C++11 compiler, gnu::unique_ptr
actually _is_ std::unique_ptr. When compiled with a C++03 compiler
OTOH, it's an hand coded std::unique_ptr emulation that assumes
code is correct and doesn't try to be too smart.
This supports custom deleters, but not _stateful_ deleters, so you
can't use those in C++11 mode either. Only the managed pointer is
stored in the smart pointer. That could be changed; it simply
wasn't found necessary.
At the end of the file you'll find a gnu::unique_ptr partial
specialization that uses a custom (stateless) deleter:
gnu::unique_xmalloc_ptr. That is used to manage pointers to
objects allocated with xmalloc.
The C++03 version was originally based on GCC 7.0's std::auto_ptr
and then heavily customized to behave more like C++11's
std::unique_ptr, but at this point, it no longer shares much at all
with the original file. But, that's the history and the reason for
the copyright's starting year.
The C++03 version lets you shoot yourself in the foot, since
similarly to std::auto_ptr, the copy constructor and assignment
operators actually move. Also, in the name of simplicity, no
effort is spent on using SFINAE to prevent invalid conversions,
etc. This is not really a problem, because the goal here is to
allow code that would be correct using std::unique_ptr to be
equally correct in C++03 mode, and, just as efficient. If client
code compiles correctly with a C++11 (or newer) compiler, we know
we're not doing anything invalid by mistake.
Usage notes:
- Putting gnu::unique_ptr in standard containers is not supported,
since C++03 containers are not move-aware (and our emulation
relies on copy actually moving).
- Since there's no nullptr in C++03, gnu::unique_ptr allows
implicit initialization and assignment from NULL instead.
- To check whether there's an associated managed object, all these
work as expected:
if (ptr)
if (!ptr)
if (ptr != NULL)
if (ptr == NULL)
if (NULL != ptr)
if (NULL == ptr)
