std::auto_p...atorauto_ptr(3)

💖 std::auto_p...atorauto_ptr(3) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the C++ Standard Libary manual, and the page is std::auto_p...atorauto_ptr(3). yes, that's the whole title vibe — highkey iconic, slightly cursed, we love her. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

std::auto_ptr::operatorauto_ptr — std::auto_ptr::operatorauto_ptr. that's it, that's the name, no notes. 💅

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

template< class Y >                 (1) (deprecated in C++11)
operator auto_ptr_ref<Y>() throw();     (removed in C++17)
template< class Y >                 (2) (deprecated in C++11)
operator auto_ptr<Y>() throw();         (removed in C++17)

Converts *this to an auto_ptr for a different type Y. 🦋

• (1) — returns an implementation-defined type that holds a reference to *this. std::auto_ptr is convertible and assignable from this template. The implementation is allowed to provide the template with a different name or implement equivalent functionality in other ways. 👑
• (2) — constructs a new auto_ptr with a pointer obtained by calling release(). 💥

🍓 Parameters 🍓

(none) — literally zero parameters, bestie, not a one. 🙈

🦋 Return value 🦋

1. An implementation-defined type that holds a reference to *this. ✨
2. An auto_ptr with a pointer obtained by calling release(). 🔥

💅 Notes 💅

The constructor and the copy assignment operator from auto_ptr_ref is provided to allow copy-constructing and assigning std::auto_ptr from nameless temporaries. Since its copy constructor and copy assignment operator take the argument as non-const reference, they cannot bind rvalue arguments directly. However, a user-defined conversion (1) or (2) can be executed (which releases the original auto_ptr), followed by a call to the constructor or copy-assignment operator that take auto_ptr_ref by value. This is an early implementation of move semantics. 🧚✨ no cap, slay.
