37 * A simple std::auto_ptr extension that adds CopyConstructible and
38 * Assignable semantics.
39 *
40 * Instances of this class, when constructed from or assigned with instances
41 * of the same class, create a copy of the managed object using the new
42 * operator and the managed object's copy constructor, as opposed to
43 * std::auto_ptr which simply transfers ownership in these cases.
44 *
45 * This template is useful for member variables of a class that store
46 * dynamically allocated instances of some other class and these instances
47 * need to be copied when the containing class instance is copied itself.
48 *
49 * Be careful when returning instances of this class by value: it will call
50 * cause to create a copy of the managed object which is probably is not what
51 * you want, especially if its constructor is quite an expensive operation.
