<p><code>auto_ptr</code> is a smart pointer that manages an object obtained via <a href="../language/new.html" title="cpp/language/new">new expression</a> and deletes that object when <code>auto_ptr</code> itself is destroyed. It may be used to provide exception safety for dynamically-allocated objects, for passing ownership of dynamically-allocated objects into functions and for returning dynamically-allocated objects from functions.
</p><p>Copying an <code>auto_ptr</code> copies the pointer and transfers ownership to the destination: both copy construction and copy assignment of <code>auto_ptr</code> modify their right hand arguments, and the "copy" is not equal to the original. Because of these unusual copy semantics, <code>auto_ptr</code> may not be placed in standard containers. <span class="t-rev-inl t-since-cxx11"><span><span class="t-lc">std::unique_ptr</span> is preferred for this and other uses.</span> <span><span class="t-mark-rev t-since-cxx11">(since C++11)</span></span></span>

<p>An additional class template <code>auto_ptr_ref</code> is referred to throughout the documentation. It is an implementation-defined type that holds a reference to <code>auto_ptr</code>. The implementation is allowed to provide the template with a different name or implement the functions returning it or accepting it as parameter in other ways.
