std::out_ptr
Defined in header <memory>

||
template< class Pointer = void, class Smart, class... Args > auto out_ptr( Smart& s, Args&&... args ); |
(since C++23) | |
Returns an std::out_ptr_t with deduced template arguments that captures arguments for resetting by reference.
The program is ill-formed if construction of the return value (see below) is ill-formed.

[edit] Parameters
s | - | the object (typically a smart pointer) to adapt |
args... | - | the arguments for resetting to capture |
[edit] Return value
std::out_ptr_t<Smart, P, Args&&>(s, std::forward<Args>(args)...), where P
is
-
Pointer
, ifPointer
is not same as void. Otherwise, - Smart::pointer, if it is valid and denotes a type. Otherwise,
- Smart::element_type*, if Smart::element_type is valid and denotes a type. Otherwise,
- std::pointer_traits<Smart>::element_type*.
[edit] Notes
Users may specify the template argument for the template parameter Pointer
, in order to interoperate with foreign functions that take a Pointer*.
As all arguments for resetting are captured by reference, the returned out_ptr_t
should be a temporary object destroyed at the end of the full-expression containing the call to the foreign function, in order to avoid dangling references.

[edit] Example
Use std::out_ptr
to adapt a smart pointer for sqlite3_open
, which expects a sqlite3**
as an out parameter.
#include <memory> #include <sqlite3.h> int main() { auto close_db = [](sqlite3* db) { sqlite3_close(db); }; { // open an in-memory database, and manage its lifetime with std::unique_ptr std::unique_ptr<sqlite3, decltype(close_db)> up; sqlite3_open(":memory:", std::out_ptr(up)); sqlite3* db = up.get(); // do something with db ... } { // same as above, but use a std::shared_ptr std::shared_ptr<sqlite3> sp; sqlite3_open(":memory:", std::out_ptr(sp, close_db)); sqlite3* db = sp.get(); // do something with db ... } }
