unique_ptr& operator=( unique_ptr<U,E>&& r ) noexcept;
If Deleter is not a reference type, requires that it is nothrow- MoveAssignable . If Deleter is a reference type, requires that std:: remove_reference < Deleter > :: type is nothrow- CopyAssignable .
Note that unique_ptr 's assignment operator only accepts rvalues , which are typically generated by std::move . (The unique_ptr class explicitly deletes its lvalue copy constructor and lvalue assignment operator.)

The smart pointers are a really good mechanism to manage dynamically allocated resources. In this article, we will see unique_ptr with example in C++11. But we don’t discuss standard smart pointers from a library. Rather, we implement our own smart pointer equivalent to it. This will give us an idea of inside working of smart pointers.
Prior to C++11, the standard provided std::auto_ptr . Which had some limitations. But from C++11, standard provided many smart pointers classes. Understanding unique_ptr with example in C++ requires an understanding of move semantics which I have discussed here & here .
But before all these nuisances, we will see “Why do we need smart pointer in 1st place?”:
func() { Resource *ptr = new Resource; int x; std::cout << "Enter an integer: "; std::cin >> x; if (x == 0) throw 0; // the function returns early, and ptr won't be deleted! if (x < 0) return; // the function returns early, and ptr won't be deleted! // do stuff with ptr here delete ptr; } |
<class T> class smart_ptr { T* m_ptr; public: smart_ptr(T* ptr=nullptr):m_ptr(ptr){} ~smart_ptr() { delete m_ptr; } T& operator*() const { return *m_ptr; } T* operator->() const { return m_ptr; } }; |
Resource { public: Resource() { std::cout << "Resource acquired\n"; } ~Resource() { std::cout << "Resource destroyed\n"; } }; void func() { smart_ptr<Resource> ptr(new Resource); // ptr now owns the Resource int x; std::cout << "Enter an integer: "; std::cin >> x; if (x == 0) throw 0; if (x < 0) return; // do stuff with ptr here // dont care about deallocation } int main() { try{ func(); } catch(int val){} return 0; } |
Hi! Resource destroyed |
main() { smart_ptr<Resource> res1(new Resource); smart_ptr<Resource> res2(res1); // Alternatively, don't initialize res2 and then assign res2 = res1; return 0; } |
Resource destroyed Resource destroyed |
<class T> class smart_ptr { T* m_ptr; public: smart_ptr(T* ptr=nullptr) :m_ptr(ptr) {} ~smart_ptr() { delete m_ptr; } // copy constructor that implements move semantics smart_ptr(smart_ptr& a) // note: not const { m_ptr = a.m_ptr; // transfer our dumb pointer from the source to our local object a.m_ptr = nullptr; // make sure the source no longer owns the pointer } // assignment operator that implements move semantics smart_ptr& operator=(smart_ptr& a) // note: not const { if (&a == this) return *this; delete m_ptr; // make sure we deallocate any pointer the destination is already holding first m_ptr = a.m_ptr; // then transfer our dumb pointer from the source to the local object a.m_ptr = nullptr; // make sure the source no longer owns the pointer return *this; } T& operator*() const { return *m_ptr; } T* operator->() const { return m_ptr; } }; class Resource { public: Resource() { std::cout << "Resource acquired\n"; } ~Resource() { std::cout << "Resource destroyed\n"; } }; int main() { smart_ptr<Resource> res1(new Resource); smart_ptr<Resource> res2(res1); return 0; } |

Description .
std::unique_ptr is a smart pointer that owns and manages another object through a pointer and disposes of that object when the unique_ptr goes out of scope.
The object is disposed of, using the associated deleter when either of the following happens:
the managing unique_ptr object is destroyed
the managing unique_ptr object is assigned another pointer via operator = or reset()
The object is disposed of, using a potentially user-supplied deleter by calling get_deleter()(ptr) . The default deleter uses the delete operator, which destroys the object and deallocates the memory.
A unique_ptr may alternatively own no object, in which case it is called empty .
There are two versions of std::unique_ptr :
The class satisfies the requirements of MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable, but of neither CopyConstructible nor CopyAssignable.
Deleter must be FunctionObject or lvalue reference to a FunctionObject or lvalue reference to function, callable with an argument of type unique_ptr<T, Deleter>::pointer .
Only non-const unique_ptr can transfer the ownership of the managed object to another unique_ptr . If an object's lifetime is managed by a const std::unique_ptr , it is limited to the scope in which the pointer was created.
std::unique_ptr is commonly used to manage the lifetime of objects, including:
std::unique_ptr may be constructed for an incomplete type T , such as to facilitate the use as a handle in the pImpl idiom. If the default deleter is used, T must be complete at the point in code where the deleter is invoked, which happens in the destructor, move assignment operator, and reset member function of std::unique_ptr . (Conversely, std::shared_ptr can't be constructed from a raw pointer to incomplete type, but can be destroyed where T is incomplete). Note that if T is a class template specialization, use of unique_ptr as an operand, e.g. !p requires T 's parameters to be complete due to ADL.
If T is a derived class of some base B , then std::unique_ptr<T> is implicitly convertible to std::unique_ptr<B> . The default deleter of the resulting std::unique_ptr<B> will use operator delete for B , leading to undefined behavior unless the destructor of B is virtual. Note that std::shared_ptr behaves differently: std::shared_ptr<B> will use the operator delete for the type T and the owned object will be deleted correctly even if the destructor of B is not virtual.
Unlike std::shared_ptr , std::unique_ptr may manage an object through any custom handle type that satisfies NullablePointer. This allows, for example, managing objects located in shared memory, by supplying a Deleter that defines typedef boost::offset_ptr pointer ; or another fancy pointer.

I just finished learning about move semantics and realized that a nice practical example for this concept is unique_ptr (it cannot be copied, only moved).
For learning purposes, and as a personal experiment, I proceed to try to create my implementation for a smart unique pointer:
For a small set of test cases, this is working like the real unique_ptr .
However, it just seems too simple enough.
I have two questions regarding this code:
Is it well-formed?
It compiles, so yes.
i.e. does it follow common C++ standard and patterns (for example, should private members be declared before public ones?
Personally I think so.
When reading the code I want to know the members so I can verify that the constructors initialize them all, as a result I usually put them first. But other people prefer to put all private stuff at the bottom.
Am I missing something regarding functionality?
Yes. Quite a lot.
Is there maybe a bug in my code that I'm not seeing?
Yes. It potentially leaks on assignment.
Constructing from object.
That's exceedingly dangerous:
You should always attempt to use the member initializer list for initializing members. Any non-trivial object will have its constructor called before the initializer code is called and thus it is inefficient to then re-initialize it in the code.
Prefer not to use _ as the first character in an identifier name.
Even if you know all the rules of when to use them most people don't so they are best avoided. If you must have a prefix to identify members use m_ - but if you name your member variables well then there is no need for any prefix (in my opinion prefixes makes the code worse not better, because you are relying on unwritten rules. If you have good well-defined names (see self-documenting code) then members should be obvious).
The move operators should be marked as noexcept .
When used with standard containers this will enable certain optimizations. This is because if the move is noexcept then certain operations can be guaranteed to work and thus provide the strong exception guarantee.
Note: Your current assignment potentially leaks. If this currently has a pointer assigned then you overwrite it without freeing.
Yes you do need to make it work when there is self assignment. But in real code the self assignment happens so infrequently that this test becomes a pessimization on the normal case (same applies for copy operation). There have been studies on this (please somebody post a link; I have lost mine and would like to add it back to my notes).
The standard way of implementing move is via swap. Just like Copy is normally implemented by Copy and Swap.
Using the swap technique also delays the calling of the destructor on the pointer for the current object. Which means that it can potentially be re-used. But if it is going out of scope the unique_ptr destructor will correctly destroy it.
Good first try but still lots of issues.
Please read the article I wrote on unique_ptr and shared_ptr for lots more things you should implement.
Smart-Pointer - Unique Pointer Smart-Pointer - Shared Pointer Smart-Pointer - Constructors
Some things you missed:
When you have read all three articles then the bare bones unique_ptr looks like this:
Test to make sure it compiles:
Yes, have good formatting
I have the same thought present in Martin York' answer:
Yes, you forgot to add T, and T[], and the following features:
type* release();
void reset(type* item);
void swap(unique_ptr &other);
type* get();
operator->;
operator[];
Yes, you must force the receiving of types strictly to be pointers
This is redundant, this part is not necessary as this operator will never be called taking into account that the motion constructor exists and the copy constructor is disabled (= delete).
You must accept both types T, and T[], ie: array or not.
Verify in move assignment operator.
Before _ptr =, you need to check if this->ptr is initialized, if yes delete ptr before assign.
This above code is incorrect, this is pointer and uptr is reference, you need to add &other to verify successfully
Note: std::move in uptr._ptr is irrelevant.

std::unique_ptr is a smart pointer introduced in C++11. It automatically manages the dynamically allocated resources on the heap. Smart pointers are just wrappers around regular old pointers that help you prevent widespread bugs. Namely, forgetting to delete a pointer and causing a memory leak or accidentally deleting a pointer twice or in the wrong way. They can be used in a similar way to standard pointers. They automate some of the manual processes that cause common bugs.
Prerequisites: Pointer in C++ , Smart Pointers in C++.
When we write unique_ptr<A> ptr1 (new A), memory is allocated on the heap for an instance of datatype A. ptr1 is initialized and points to newly created A object. Here, ptr1 is the only owner of the newly created object A and it manages this object’s lifetime. This means that when ptr1 is reset or goes out of scope, memory is automatically deallocated and A’s object is destroyed.
When ownership of resource is required. When we want single or exclusive ownership of a resource, then we should go for unique pointers. Only one unique pointer can point to one resource. So, one unique pointer cannot be copied to another. Also, it facilitates automatic cleanup when dynamically allocated objects go out of scope and helps preventing memory leaks.
Note: We need to use the <memory> header file for using these smart pointers.
Lets create a structure A and it will have a method named printA to display some text. Then in the main section, let’s create a unique pointer that will point to the structure A. So at this point, we have an instance of structure A and p1 holds the pointer to that.
Now let’s create another pointer p2 and we will try to copy the pointer p1 using the assignment operator(=).
The above code will give compile time error as we cannot assign pointer p2 to p1 in case of unique pointers. We have to use the move semantics for such purpose as shown below.
Managing object of type A using move semantics.
Note once the address in pointer p1 is copied to pointer p2, the pointer p1’s address becomes NULL(0) and the address stored by p2 is now the same as the address stored by p1 showing that the address in p1 has been transferred to the pointer p2 using the move semantics.

I tried to use unique_ptr in c++ in a singelton pattern instead of raw pointer. when I want to assign a unique_ptr to another I got an error. I tried to use std::move to assign but it did not work. the code is as follow:
and the error I got is
and another question is if nullptr can be used for unique_ptr .
Finally by help of my teacher, I can solve the problem. there is some points should be considered.
1- for unique_ptr assignment, std::move:: should be used.
2- make_unique has no access to the private constructor, the constructor should be called explicitly: theDB = unique_ptr<ClientDB>(new ClientDB());
3-The unique-ptr must be initialized outside the class: unique_ptr<ClientDB> ClientDB::theDB;
4- Three unique pointers in main for the same object can not be used, only one is allowed for uniqueness. references to unique_ptr should be used instead: unique_ptr<ClientDB>& db1=ClientDB::getInstance();
and finally the code should be like this

std::unique_ptr may be constructed for an incomplete type T, such as to facilitate the use as a handle in the pImpl idiom. If the default deleter is used, T must be complete at the point in code where the deleter is invoked, which happens in the destructor, move assignment operator, and reset member function of std::unique_ptr.
From the docs of unique_ptr's operator=: Transfers ownership of the object pointed to by r to *this as if by calling reset(r.release()) followed by an assignment from std::forward<E>(r.get_deleter()). And all you need of that is the reset call, so it's simpler to just call it directly
The assignment operation between unique_ptr objects that point to different types (3) needs to be between types whose pointers are implicitly convertible, and shall not involve arrays in any case (the third signature is not part of the array specialization of unique_ptr). Copy assignment (4) to a unique_ptr type is not allowed (deleted ...
For the array specialization (unique_ptr<T[]>), this overload participates in overload resolution only if U is an array type, ... As a move-only type, unique_ptr's assignment operator only accepts rvalues arguments (e.g. the result of std::make_unique or a std::move 'd unique_ptr variable).
std::unique_ptr is by far the most used smart pointer class, so we'll cover that one first. In the following lessons, we'll cover std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr. std::unique_ptr. std::unique_ptr is the C++11 replacement for std::auto_ptr. It should be used to manage any dynamically allocated object that is not shared by multiple objects.
2) Converting assignment operator. Behaves same as (1), except that . This assignment operator of the primary template only participates in overload resolution if U is not an array type and unique_ptr < U,E >:: pointer is implicitly convertible to pointer and std:: is_assignable < Deleter &, E && >:: value is true.; This assignment operator in the specialization for arrays, std::unique_ptr<T ...
unique_ptr objects replicate a limited pointer functionality by providing access to its managed object through operators * and -> (for individual objects), or operator [] (for array objects). For safety reasons, they do not support pointer arithmetics, and only support move assignment (disabling copy assignments).
std::auto_ptr, and why to avoid it#. What we have seen above as smart_ptr is basically an std::auto_ptr which was introduced in C++98, was C++'s first attempt at a standardized smart pointer.; However, std::auto_ptr (and our smart_ptr class) has a number of problems that make using it dangerous. Because std::auto_ptr implements move semantics through the copy constructor and assignment ...
Description . std::unique_ptr is a smart pointer that owns and manages another object through a pointer and disposes of that object when the unique_ptr goes out of scope.. The object is disposed of, using the associated deleter when either of the following happens: the managing unique_ptr object is destroyed . the managing unique_ptr object is assigned another pointer via operator = or reset()
pointer operator->()constnoexcept; (2) (since C++11)(constexpr since C++23) operator* and operator-> provide access to the object owned by *this. The behavior is undefined if get()== nullptr. These member functions are only provided for unique_ptr for the single objects i.e. the primary template.
Copy assignment operator unique_ptr<T>& operator=(const unique_ptr<T>& uptr) = delete; This is redundant, this part is not necessary as this operator will never be called taking into account that the motion constructor exists and the copy constructor is disabled (= delete). Template only typename T template<typename T> class unique_ptr { ...
std::unique_ptr is a smart pointer introduced in C++11. It automatically manages the dynamically allocated resources on the heap. Smart pointers are just wrappers around regular old pointers that help you prevent widespread bugs. Namely, forgetting to delete a pointer and causing a memory leak or accidentally deleting a pointer twice or in the ...
unique_ptr should be used with std::move semantics, and the copy assignment operator was explicitly removed for lvalues, so that anything like. unique_ptr<int> r = another_unique_ptr; will not work. I found the following signatures on cpp reference: unique_ptr& operator= ( unique_ptr&& r ); (1) template< class U, class E > unique_ptr& operator ...
Return value (none) [] NoteTo replace the managed object while supplying a new deleter as well, move assignment operator may be used. A test for self-reset, i.e. whether ptr points to an object already managed by * this, is not performed, except where provided as a compiler extension or as a debugging assert.Note that code such as p. reset (p. release ()) does not involve self-reset, only code ...
25.1 — Pointers and references to the base class of derived objects. In the previous chapter, you learned all about how to use inheritance to derive new classes from existing classes. In this chapter, we are going to focus on one of the most important and powerful aspects of inheritance -- virtual functions.
0. In order to assign a new value to a std::unique_ptr use the reset() method. However, a big word of caution regarding the use of this method is that the std::unique_ptr object will try to dispose of the managed pointer by invoking a Deleter function on the managed pointer when the std::unique_ptr object will be being destroyed or when the ...
Petrovskaya Naberezhnaya is located in the oldest part of St. Petersburg. After the founding of the city in 1703, its first center was located on what is now Troitskaya Ploshchad (Trinity Square). Nearby, on the banks of the Neva River, was the wooden cabin of Peter the Great, as well as similarly modest houses for his close associates - Yakov ...
The Mill. One of the newest additions to the downtown Saint Petersburg restaurant scene is The Mill. A must-try restaurant, The Mill specializes in New American food with a Southern spin. Since opening in 2015, The Mill has already raked in multiple prestigious awards like Best New Restaurant in Florida by Florida Trend Magazine.
There are basically two things going on here: The first is the addition of a user-defined copy constructor of Foo, This is necessary, as the unique_ptr -member iself has no copy constructor. In the declared copy-constructor, a new unique_ptr is created, and the pointer is set to a copy of the original pointee.
Birzhevaya Ploshchad (Exchange Square) The unique architectural design of the island is complemented by the majestic Neva River. The Rostral Columns, situated on the eastern point of the island, were originally built in the 19th century as beacons to guide ships during the night, and have become a symbol of St. Petersburg.
