Doubt with auto_ptr_ref

CID
Hello all,

I was reading about auto_ptr from TC++PL. It tells, the purpose of
auto_ptr_ref is to implement the destructive copy semantics for
ordinary auto_ptrs.

Can somebody there please explain how it achives the requirement ? I am
interested to know how auto_ptr_ref helps in transferring ownership and
how it avoids copying of const auto_ptrs.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
CID

It doesn't. The references cited here explain how it was supposed to work and
why it's broken:

I don't remember seeing the term ``doubt'' used much in c.l.c. back in the 90's. When did this word become nearly synonymous with ``question'' or ``query'' and does it have static duration?

Hi all, I am trying to understand the auto_ptr_ref role in the implementation of auto_ptr<>. I read the information on net but still not 100% sure of it. My plan is as follows. 1. To see the behaviour of std::auto_ptr. 2. To implement a pkt::auto_ptr without auto_ptr_ref. 3. Check out the limitations of pkt::auto_ptr as compared to std::auto_ptr (using steps 1 and 2).

Hi, The std::auto_ptr 14.4.2 in Stroustrup ,the book talks about "std::auto_pt_ref is to implement destructive copy semantics" , after some more search I found that auto_ptr can be returned from function by value, and the class auto_ptr_ref is used to achieve that., beyond that the workings are not mentioned. Can someone help me understand, why is an auto_ptr_ref needed to return auto_ptr from a function, why is it different from a...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
