The default type for the template parameter D is default_delete. A client-supplied template argument D shall be a function object type ([function.objects]), lvalue-reference to function, or lvalue-reference to function object type for which, given a value d of type D and a value ptr of type unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer, the expression d(ptr) is valid and has the effect of disposing of the pointer as appropriate for that deleter.
If the deleter's type D is not a reference type, D shall satisfy the requirements of Destructible (Table [destructible]).
If the type remove_reference<D>::type::pointer exists, then unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer shall be a synonym for remove_reference<D>::type::pointer. Otherwise unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer shall be a synonym for T*. The type unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer shall satisfy the requirements of NullablePointer ([nullablepointer.requirements]).
[ Example: Given an allocator type X ([allocator.requirements]) and letting A be a synonym for allocator_traits<X>, the types A::pointer, A::const_pointer, A::void_pointer, and A::const_void_pointer may be used as unique_ptr<T, D>::pointer. — end example ]
constexpr unique_ptr() noexcept;
Requires: D shall satisfy the requirements of DefaultConstructible (Table [defaultconstructible]), and that construction shall not throw an exception.
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr object that owns nothing, value-initializing the stored pointer and the stored deleter.
Postconditions: get() == nullptr. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter.
Remarks: If this constructor is instantiated with a pointer type or reference type for the template argument D, the program is ill-formed.
explicit unique_ptr(pointer p) noexcept;
Requires: D shall satisfy the requirements of DefaultConstructible (Table [defaultconstructible]), and that construction shall not throw an exception.
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr which owns p, initializing the stored pointer with p and value-initializing the stored deleter.
Postconditions: get() == p. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter.
Remarks: If this constructor is instantiated with a pointer type or reference type for the template argument D, the program is ill-formed.
unique_ptr(pointer p, see below d1) noexcept;
unique_ptr(pointer p, see below d2) noexcept;
The signature of these constructors depends upon whether D is a reference type. If D is non-reference type A, then the signatures are:
unique_ptr(pointer p, const A& d); unique_ptr(pointer p, A&& d);
If D is an lvalue-reference type A&, then the signatures are:
unique_ptr(pointer p, A& d); unique_ptr(pointer p, A&& d);
If D is an lvalue-reference type const A&, then the signatures are:
unique_ptr(pointer p, const A& d); unique_ptr(pointer p, const A&& d);
Requires:
If D is not an lvalue-reference type then
If d is an lvalue or const rvalue then the first constructor of this pair will be selected. D shall satisfy the requirements of CopyConstructible (Table [copyconstructible]), and the copy constructor of D shall not throw an exception. This unique_ptr will hold a copy of d.
Otherwise, d is a non-const rvalue and the second constructor of this pair will be selected. D shall satisfy the requirements of MoveConstructible (Table [moveconstructible]), and the move constructor of D shall not throw an exception. This unique_ptr will hold a value move constructed from d.
Otherwise D is an lvalue-reference type. d shall be reference-compatible with one of the constructors. If d is an rvalue, it will bind to the second constructor of this pair and the program is ill-formed. [ Note: The diagnostic could be implemented using a static_assert which assures that D is not a reference type. — end note ] Else d is an lvalue and will bind to the first constructor of this pair. The type which D references need not be CopyConstructible nor MoveConstructible. This unique_ptr will hold a D which refers to the lvalue d. [ Note: D may not be an rvalue-reference type. — end note ]
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr object which owns p, initializing the stored pointer with p and initializing the deleter as described above.
Postconditions: get() == p. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter. If D is a reference type then get_deleter() returns a reference to the lvalue d.
[ Example:
D d; unique_ptr<int, D> p1(new int, D()); // D must be MoveConstructible unique_ptr<int, D> p2(new int, d); // D must be CopyConstructible unique_ptr<int, D&> p3(new int, d); // p3 holds a reference to d unique_ptr<int, const D&> p4(new int, D()); // error: rvalue deleter object combined // with reference deleter type
— end example ]
unique_ptr(unique_ptr&& u) noexcept;
Requires: If D is not a reference type, D shall satisfy the requirements of MoveConstructible (Table [moveconstructible]). Construction of the deleter from an rvalue of type D shall not throw an exception.
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr by transferring ownership from u to *this. If D is a reference type, this deleter is copy constructed from u's deleter; otherwise, this deleter is move constructed from u's deleter. [ Note: The deleter constructor can be implemented with std::forward<D>. — end note ]
Postconditions: get() yields the value u.get() yielded before the construction. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter that was constructed from u.get_deleter(). If D is a reference type then get_deleter() and u.get_deleter() both reference the same lvalue deleter.
template <class U, class E> unique_ptr(unique_ptr<U, E>&& u) noexcept;
Requires: If E is not a reference type, construction of the deleter from an rvalue of type E shall be well formed and shall not throw an exception. Otherwise, E is a reference type and construction of the deleter from an lvalue of type E shall be well formed and shall not throw an exception.
Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless:
unique_ptr<U, E>::pointer is implicitly convertible to pointer,
U is not an array type, and
either D is a reference type and E is the same type as D, or D is not a reference type and E is implicitly convertible to D.
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr by transferring ownership from u to *this. If E is a reference type, this deleter is copy constructed from u's deleter; otherwise, this deleter is move constructed from u's deleter. [ Note: The deleter constructor can be implemented with std::forward<E>. — end note ]
Postconditions: get() yields the value u.get() yielded before the construction. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter that was constructed from u.get_deleter().
template <class U>
unique_ptr(auto_ptr<U>&& u) noexcept;
Effects: Constructs a unique_ptr object, initializing the stored pointer with u.release() and value-initializing the stored deleter.
Postconditions: get() yields the value u.get() yielded before the construction. u.get() == nullptr. get_deleter() returns a reference to the stored deleter.
Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless U* is implicitly convertible to T* and D is the same type as default_delete<T>.
Requires: The expression get_deleter()(get()) shall be well formed, shall have well-defined behavior, and shall not throw exceptions. [ Note: The use of default_delete requires T to be a complete type. — end note ]
Effects: If get() == nullptr there are no effects. Otherwise get_deleter()(get()).
unique_ptr& operator=(unique_ptr&& u) noexcept;
Requires: If D is not a reference type, D shall satisfy the requirements of MoveAssignable (Table [moveassignable]) and assignment of the deleter from an rvalue of type D shall not throw an exception. Otherwise, D is a reference type; remove_reference<D>::type shall satisfy the CopyAssignable requirements and assignment of the deleter from an lvalue of type D shall not throw an exception.
Effects: Transfers ownership from u to *this as if by calling reset(u.release()) followed by an assignment from std::forward<D>(u.get_deleter()).
Returns: *this.
template <class U, class E> unique_ptr& operator=(unique_ptr<U, E>&& u) noexcept;
Requires: If E is not a reference type, assignment of the deleter from an rvalue of type E shall be well-formed and shall not throw an exception. Otherwise, E is a reference type and assignment of the deleter from an lvalue of type E shall be well-formed and shall not throw an exception.
Effects: Transfers ownership from u to *this as if by calling reset(u.release()) followed by an assignment from std::forward<D>(u.get_deleter()).
Returns: *this.
unique_ptr& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;
Effects: reset().
Postcondition: get() == nullptr
Returns: *this.
typename add_lvalue_reference<T>::type operator*() const;
Requires: get() != nullptr.
Returns: *get().
pointer operator->() const noexcept;
Requires: get() != nullptr.
Returns: get().
Note: use typically requires that T be a complete type.
Returns: The stored pointer.
deleter_type& get_deleter() noexcept;
const deleter_type& get_deleter() const noexcept;
Returns: A reference to the stored deleter.
explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
Returns: get() != nullptr.
Postcondition: get() == nullptr.
Returns: The value get() had at the start of the call to release.
void reset(pointer p = pointer()) noexcept;
Requires: The expression get_deleter()(get()) shall be well formed, shall have well-defined behavior, and shall not throw exceptions.
Effects: assigns p to the stored pointer, and then if the old value of the stored pointer, old_p, was not equal to nullptr, calls get_deleter()(old_p). [ Note: The order of these operations is significant because the call to get_deleter() may destroy *this. — end note ]
Postconditions: get() == p. [ Note: The postcondition does not hold if the call to get_deleter() destroys *this since this->get() is no longer a valid expression. — end note ]
void swap(unique_ptr& u) noexcept;
Requires: get_deleter() shall be swappable ([swappable.requirements]) and shall not throw an exception under swap.
Effects: Invokes swap on the stored pointers and on the stored deleters of *this and u.
