explicit auto_ptr( X* p = 0 );	(1)	(deprecated)
auto_ptr( auto_ptr& r );	(2)	(deprecated)
template< class Y > auto_ptr( auto_ptr<Y>& r );	(3)	(deprecated)
template< class Y > auto_ptr( auto_ptr_ref<Y> m );	(4)	(deprecated)

Constructs the auto_ptr from a pointer that refers to the object to manage.

1) Constructs the auto_ptr with pointer p.

2) Constructs the auto_ptr with the pointer held in r. r.release() is called to acquire the ownership of the object.

3) Same as (2). Y* must be implicitly convertible to T*.

4) Constructs the auto_ptr with the pointer held in the auto_ptr instance referred to by m. p.release() is called for the auto_ptr p that m holds to acquire the ownership of the object.

auto_ptr_ref is an implementation-defined type that holds a reference to auto_ptr. std::auto_ptr is implicitly convertible to and assignable from this type. The implementation is allowed to provide the template with a different name or implement equivalent functionality in other ways.

Parameters

p	-	a pointer to an object to manage
r	-	another auto_ptr to transfer the ownership of the object from
m	-	an implementation-defined type that holds a reference to auto_ptr

Exceptions

(none)

Notes

The constructor and the copy assignment operator from auto_ptr_ref is provided to allow copy-constructing and assigning std::auto_ptr from nameless temporaries. Since its copy constructor and copy assignment operator take the argument as non-const reference, they cannot bind rvalue arguments directly. However, a user-defined conversion can be executed (which releases the original auto_ptr), followed by a call to the constructor or copy-assignment operator that take auto_ptr_ref by value. This is an early implementation of move semantics.
