// This is a copy of breakpad's standalone scoped_ptr, which has been
// renamed to nonstd::unique_ptr, and from which more complicated classes
// have been removed. The reset() method has also been tweaked to more
// closely match c++11, and an implicit conversion to bool has been added.

// Scopers help you manage ownership of a pointer, helping you easily manage the
// a pointer within a scope, and automatically destroying the pointer at the
// end of a scope.
//
// A unique_ptr<T> is like a T*, except that the destructor of unique_ptr<T>
// automatically deletes the pointer it holds (if any).
// That is, unique_ptr<T> owns the T object that it points to.
// Like a T*, a unique_ptr<T> may hold either NULL or a pointer to a T object.
// Also like T*, unique_ptr<T> is thread-compatible, and once you
// dereference it, you get the thread safety guarantees of T.
//
// Example usage (unique_ptr):
//   {
//     unique_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo("wee"));
//   }  // foo goes out of scope, releasing the pointer with it.
//
//   {
//     unique_ptr<Foo> foo;          // No pointer managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee"));    // Now a pointer is managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee2"));   // Foo("wee") was destroyed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee3"));   // Foo("wee2") was destroyed.
//     foo->Method();                // Foo::Method() called.
//     foo.get()->Method();          // Foo::Method() called.
//     SomeFunc(foo.release());      // SomeFunc takes ownership, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee4"));   // foo manages a pointer again.
//     foo.reset();                  // Foo("wee4") destroyed, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//   }  // foo wasn't managing a pointer, so nothing was destroyed.
//
// The size of a unique_ptr is small: sizeof(unique_ptr<C>) == sizeof(C*)
