[ace-bugs] use of deprecated std::auto_ptr ?

[Ed Hourigan]

     ACE VERSION: 6.4.1


     HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:   Fedora 24 ( 4.8.5 kernel )


     TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST: Same


     THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a platform-
     specific file, simply state which one]:

           config-linux.h


     THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE [if you
     use a link to a platform-specific file, simply state which one
     (unless this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual
     C++)]:

            platform_linux.GNU

     CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
     (used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles): N/A

     AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:

     DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
         COMPILATION

   SYNOPSIS:
        ACE is using std::auto_ptr.  This appears to trip compiler warnings.

     DESCRIPTION:

       Seems harmless and applications built with ACE work fine. It 
seems like its time to stop using auto_ptr<T> ?   Someday it will be 
removed, so I've been told.

     Are there plans to replace auto_ptr with unique_ptr or some other 
smart pointer ( e.g. boost )?
