+/* gtl::unique_ptr defines a C++ owning smart pointer that exposes a
+ subset of the std::unique_ptr API.
+
+ In fact, when compiled with a C++11 compiler, gtl::unique_ptr
+ actually _is_ std::unique_ptr. When compiled with a C++03 compiler
+ OTOH, it's an hand coded std::unique_ptr emulation that assumes
+ code is correct and doesn't try to be too smart.
+
+ This supports custom deleters, but not _stateful_ deleters, so you
+ can't use those in C++11 mode either. Only the managed pointer is
+ stored in the smart pointer. That could be changed; it simply
+ wasn't found necessary.
+
+ At the end of the file you'll find a gtl::unique_ptr partial
+ specialization that uses a custom (stateless) deleter:
+ gtl::unique_xmalloc_ptr. That is used to manage pointers to
+ objects allocated with xmalloc.
+
+ The C++03 version was originally based on GCC 7.0's std::auto_ptr
+ and then heavily customized to behave more like C++11's
+ std::unique_ptr, but at this point, it no longer shares much at all
+ with the original file. But, that's the history and the reason for
+ the copyright's starting year.
+
+ The C++03 version lets you shoot yourself in the foot, since
+ similarly to std::auto_ptr, the copy constructor and assignment
+ operators actually move. Also, in the name of simplicity, no
+ effort is spent on using SFINAE to prevent invalid conversions,
+ etc. This is not really a problem, because the goal here is to
+ allow code that would be correct using std::unique_ptr to be
+ equally correct in C++03 mode, and, just as efficient. If client
+ code compiles correctly with a C++11 (or newer) compiler, we know
+ we're not doing anything invalid by mistake.
+
+ Usage notes:
+
+ - Putting gtl::unique_ptr in standard containers is not supported,
+ since C++03 containers are not move-aware (and our emulation
+ relies on copy actually moving).
+
+ - Since there's no nullptr in C++03, gtl::unique_ptr allows
+ implicit initialization and assignment from NULL instead.
+
+ - To check whether there's an associated managed object, all these
+ work as expected:
+
+ if (ptr)
+ if (!ptr)
+ if (ptr != NULL)
+ if (ptr == NULL)
+ if (NULL != ptr)
+ if (NULL == ptr)
