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();
