C++里面的智能指针包括auto_ptr, shared_ptr, unique_ptr, weak_ptr四种。
auto_ptr
template
class auto_ptr
{ // wrap an object pointer to ensure destruction
public:
typedef auto_ptr<_Ty> _Myt;
typedef _Ty element_type;
explicit auto_ptr(_Ty *_Ptr = 0) _THROW0()
: _Myptr(_Ptr)
{ // construct from object pointer
}
auto_ptr(_Myt& _Right) _THROW0()
: _Myptr(_Right.release())
{ // construct by assuming pointer from _Right auto_ptr
}
auto_ptr(auto_ptr_ref<_Ty> _Right) _THROW0()
{ // construct by assuming pointer from _Right auto_ptr_ref
_Ty *_Ptr = _Right._Ref;
_Right._Ref = 0; // release old
_Myptr = _Ptr; // reset this
}
template
operator auto_ptr<_Other>() _THROW0()
{ // convert to compatible auto_ptr
return (auto_ptr<_Other>(*this));
}
template
operator auto_ptr_ref<_Other>() _THROW0()
{ // convert to compatible auto_ptr_ref
_Other *_Cvtptr = _Myptr; // test implicit conversion
auto_ptr_ref<_Other> _Ans(_Cvtptr);
_Myptr = 0; // pass ownership to auto_ptr_ref
return (_Ans);
}
template
_Myt& operator=(auto_ptr<_Other>& _Right) _THROW0()
{ // assign compatible _Right (assume pointer)
reset(_Right.release());
return (*this);
}
template
auto_ptr(auto_ptr<_Other>& _Right) _THROW0()
: _Myptr(_Right.release())
{ // construct by assuming pointer from _Right
}
_Myt& operator=(_Myt& _Right) _THROW0()
{ // assign compatible _Right (assume pointer)
reset(_Right.release());
return (*this);
}
_Myt& operator=(auto_ptr_ref<_Ty> _Right) _THROW0()
{ // assign compatible _Right._Ref (assume pointer)
_Ty *_Ptr = _Right._Ref;
_Right._Ref = 0; // release old
reset(_Ptr); // set new
return (*this);
}
~auto_ptr() _NOEXCEPT
{ // destroy the object
delete _Myptr;
}
_Ty& operator*() const _THROW0()
{ // return designated value
#if _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2
if (_Myptr == 0)
_DEBUG_ERROR("auto_ptr not dereferencable");
#endif /* _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2 */
return (*get());
}
_Ty *operator->() const _THROW0()
{ // return pointer to class object
#if _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2
if (_Myptr == 0)
_DEBUG_ERROR("auto_ptr not dereferencable");
#endif /* _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2 */
return (get());
}
_Ty *get() const _THROW0()
{ // return wrapped pointer
return (_Myptr);
}
_Ty *release() _THROW0()
{ // return wrapped pointer and give up ownership
_Ty *_Tmp = _Myptr;
_Myptr = 0;
return (_Tmp);
}
void reset(_Ty *_Ptr = 0)
{ // destroy designated object and store new pointer
if (_Ptr != _Myptr)
delete _Myptr;
_Myptr = _Ptr;
}
private:
_Ty *_Myptr; // the wrapped object pointer
};
auto_ptr的拷贝构造函数， 拷贝赋值函数用得都是非const的引用类型， 我们可以修改源对象。例如：
std::auto_ptr my_memory(new Simple(1));
std::auto_ptr my_memory2; // 创建一个新的 my_memory2 对象
my_memory2 = my_memory; // 复制旧的 my_memory 给 my_memory2
my_memory2->PrintSomething(); // 输出信息，复制成功
my_memory->PrintSomething(); // 崩溃
当使用=号赋值操作时， my_memory2完全剥夺了my_memory的内存管理所有权， 导致my_memory悬空, 最后使用时崩溃。
std::auto_ptr 的 release() 函数只是让出内存所有权，这显然也不符合 C++ 编程思想。
总结：std::auto_ptr 可用来管理单个对象的对内存，但是，请注意如下几点：
（1） 尽量不要使用“operator=”。如果使用了，请不要再使用先前对象。
（2） 记住 release() 函数不会释放对象，仅仅归还所有权。
（3） std::auto_ptr 最好不要当成参数传递（读者可以自行写代码确定为什么不能）。
（4） 由于 std::auto_ptr 的“operator=”问题，有其管理的对象不能放入 std::vector 等容器中。
unique_ptr

}
unique_ptr(const _Myt&) = delete;
_Myt& operator=(const _Myt&) = delete;
};
unique_ptr禁止了拷贝和赋值操作， 一个unique_ptr拥有它指向的对象。
release函数返回unique_ptr当前保存的指针并将其置为空，reset函数接受一个可选的指针参数， 令unique_ptr重新指向给定的指针。

weak_ptr被设计为与shared_ptr共同工作，可以从一个shared_ptr或者另一个weak_ptr对象构造，获得资源的观测权。但weak_ptr没有共享资源，它的构造不会引起指针引用计数的增加。同样，在weak_ptr析构时也不会导致引用计数的减少，它只是一个静静地观察者。weak_ptr没有重载operator*和->，这是特意的，因为它不共享指针，不能操作资源，这是它弱的原因。但它可以使用一个非常重要的成员函数lock()从被观测的shared_ptr获得一个可用的shared_ptr对象，从而操作资源。
weak_ptr用于解决”引用计数”模型循环依赖问题，weak_ptr指向一个对象，并不增减该对象的引用计数器。weak_ptr用于配合shared_ptr使用，并不影响动态对象的生命周期，即其存在与否并不影响对象的引用计数器。weak_ptr并没有重载operator->和operator *操作符，因此不可直接通过weak_ptr使用对象。weak_ptr提供了expired()与lock()成员函数，前者用于判断weak_ptr指向的对象是否已被销毁，后者返回其所指对象的shared_ptr智能指针(对象销毁时返回”空”shared_ptr)。
