std::unique_ptr<T,Deleter>::operator bool
explicit operator bool() const noexcept; | (since C++11) (constexpr since C++23) |
Checks whether *this owns an object, i.e. whether get() != nullptr.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
true if *this owns an object, false otherwise.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
int main()
{
std::unique_ptr<int> ptr(new int(42));
if (ptr)
std::cout << "before reset, ptr is: " << *ptr << '\n';
ptr.reset();
(ptr ? (std::cout << "after reset, ptr is: " << *ptr)
: (std::cout << "after reset ptr is empty")) << '\n';
}
Output:
before reset, ptr is: 42 after reset ptr is empty
