Type‐agnostic container for the internal state of a managed pointer.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslma_managedptr_members.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
class ManagedPtr_Members;
----

== Description

This class provides a type‐agnostic container for managed pointer data members. This type exists so that a `ManagedPtr_Ref` (see `bslma_managedptr`) can point to the representation of a `ManagedPtr` even if the `ManagedPtr_Ref` object is instantiated on a different type than the managed pointer type (e.g., in the case of conversions or aliasing). `ManagedPtr_Members` also "erases" the type of each member, so that the same object code can be shared between all instantiations of the `ManagedPtr` class template, reducing template bloat. Note that objects of this type have an "unset" state, where the pointer member has a null value and the deleter member has an unspecified value.
