------- Comment #3 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2008-08-27 13:31 ------- Also note that section 8.5, referred in the text of that 1997 paper, is rather different in the actual, published standard, and I'm not sure exactly the same conclusions apply.
Our implementation of auto_ptr is rather literal, as regards the set of provided constructors, conversion operators, etc., it seems unlikely to me that something is wrong with it about this issue (by the way, why don't you just open the header and give a look?
