Bug ID: 123960
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Replace uses of auto_ptr with standard compliant smart
pointers
Product: General
Version: 4.1.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: code

The auto_ptr template was deprecated in C++11 because it has many well known
problems that are solved by tts modern counterpart unique_ptr.
Auto_ptr was also often abused in cases where it shouldn't have been used. The
shared_ptr and weak_ptr might be the suitable replacements in these cases. Also
if auto_ptr was misemployed to manage arrays then the replacement should get
custom deleters to do the delete[] for destructing the array. It's too bad that
e.g. boost's shared_array_ptr didn't make it into the C++11 standard.
