## NAME

ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr - Implements the draft C++ standard auto_ptr abstraction. This class allows one to work on non-object (basic) types

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <ace/Auto_Ptr.h>

    template<class X>
    class ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr
    {
      public:
        ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (X *p = 0);
        ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &ap);
        ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &operator= (ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &rhs);
        ~ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (void);
        X &operator *() const;
        X *get (void) const;
        X *release (void);
        void reset (X *p = 0);
        void dump (void) const;
        ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
      protected:
        X *p_;
    };

## Initialization and termination methods

    ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (X *p = 0);

    ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &ap);

    ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &operator= (ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X> &rhs);

    ~ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr (void);

## Accessor methods.

    X &operator *() const;

    X *get (void) const;

    X *release (void);

    void reset (X *p = 0);

    void dump (void) const;

Dump the state of an object.

    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.
