BloombergLP::bslma::ManagedPtr::ManagedPtr

Create a managed pointer having a target object referenced by the specified ptr, owning the managed object *ptr, and having a deleter that will invoke the specified deleter with the address of the currently managed object, and with the specified cookie (that the deleter can use for its own purposes), unless 0 == ptr, in which case create an empty managed pointer. This constructor will not compile unless MANAGED_TYPE * is convertible to TARGET_TYPE *, and MANAGED_TYPE * is convertible to MANAGED_BASE *. The deleter will invoke the destructor of MANAGED_TYPE rather than the destructor of TARGET_TYPE. The behavior is undefined if ptr is already managed by another object, or if 0 == deleter && 0 != ptr. Note that this constructor is needed only to avoid ambiguous type deductions when passing a null pointer literal as the cookie when the user passes a deleter taking a type other than void * for its object type. Also note that this function is deprecated as it relies on undefined compiler behavior for its implementation (that luckily performs as required on every platform supported by BDE).
