readability-uniqueptr-delete-release

Replace delete <unique_ptr>.release() with <unique_ptr> = nullptr. The latter is shorter, simpler and does not require use of raw pointer APIs.

std::unique_ptr<int> P;
delete P.release();

// becomes

std::unique_ptr<int> P;
P = nullptr;

Options

PreferResetCall

If true, refactor by calling the reset member function instead of assigning to nullptr. Default value is false.

std::unique_ptr<int> P;
delete P.release();

// becomes

std::unique_ptr<int> P;
P.reset();
