144 * The Standard says:
145 * <pre>
146 * An @c auto_ptr owns the object it holds a pointer to. Copying
147 * an @c auto_ptr copies the pointer and transfers ownership to the
148 * destination. If more than one @c auto_ptr owns the same object
149 * at the same time the behavior of the program is undefined.
151 * The uses of @c auto_ptr include providing temporary
152 * exception-safety for dynamically allocated memory, passing
153 * ownership of dynamically allocated memory to a function, and
154 * returning dynamically allocated memory from a function. @c
155 * auto_ptr does not meet the CopyConstructible and Assignable
156 * requirements for Standard Library <a
157 * href="tables.html#65">container</a> elements and thus
158 * instantiating a Standard Library container with an @c auto_ptr
159 * results in undefined behavior.
160 * </pre>
161 * Quoted from [20.4.5]/3.

164 * be found in the libstdc++ testsuite.
