Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> template<typename _Del  = _Dp, typename  = _DeleterConstraint<_Del>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr () [inline], [constexpr], [noexcept]

Default constructor, creates a unique_ptr that owns nothing.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> template<typename _Del  = _Dp, typename  = _DeleterConstraint<_Del>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (pointer __p) [inline], [explicit], [constexpr], [noexcept]

Takes ownership of a pointer.

Parameters

__p A pointer to an object of element_type

The deleter will be value-initialized.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> template<typename _Del  = deleter_type, typename  = _Require<is_copy_constructible<_Del>>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (pointer __p, const deleter_type & __d) [inline], [constexpr], [noexcept]

Takes ownership of a pointer.

Parameters

__p A pointer to an object of element_type
__d A reference to a deleter.

The deleter will be initialized with __d

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> template<typename _Del  = deleter_type, typename  = _Require<is_move_constructible<_Del>>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (pointer __p, __enable_if_t<!is_lvalue_reference< _Del >::value, _Del && > __d) [inline], [constexpr], [noexcept]

Takes ownership of a pointer.

Parameters

__p A pointer to an object of element_type
__d An rvalue reference to a (non-reference) deleter.

The deleter will be initialized with std::move(__d)

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> template<typename _Del  = _Dp, typename  = _DeleterConstraint<_Del>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (nullptr_t ) [inline], [constexpr], [noexcept]

Creates a unique_ptr that owns nothing.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp > && ) [default]

Move constructor.

Converting constructor from another type. Requires that the pointer owned by __u is convertible to the type of pointer owned by this object, __u does not own an array, and __u has a compatible deleter type.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp > template<typename _Up , typename > std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::unique_ptr (auto_ptr< _Up > && __u) [inline], [noexcept]

Converting constructor from auto_ptr.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Dp  = default_delete<_Tp>> std::unique_ptr< _Tp, _Dp >::~unique_ptr () [inline], [noexcept]

Destructor, invokes the deleter if the stored pointer is not null.
