auto_ptr::operator=
An assignment operator that transfers ownership from one auto_ptr object to another.
template<class Other>
auto_ptr<Type>& operator=(
auto_ptr<Other>& _Right
) throw( );
auto_ptr<Type>& operator=(
auto_ptr<Type>& _Right
) throw( );
auto_ptr<Type>& operator=(
auto_ptr_ref<Type> _Right
) throw( );
Parameters
- _Right
An object of type auto_ptr.
Return Value
A reference to an object of type auto_ptr<Type>.
Remarks
The assignment evaluates the expression delete myptr, but only if the stored pointer myptr changes as a result of the assignment. It then transfers ownership of the pointer stored in _Right, by storing _Right.release in myptr. The function returns *this.
Example
For an example of the use of the member operator, see auto_ptr::auto_ptr.
