23.11.1 Class template unique_­ptr [unique.ptr]

23.11.1.2.3 unique_­ptr assignment [unique.ptr.single.asgn]

unique_ptr& operator=(unique_ptr&& u) noexcept;

1
#

Requires: If D is not a reference type, D shall satisfy the requirements of MoveAssignable and assignment of the deleter from an rvalue of type D shall not throw an exception. Otherwise, D is a reference type; remove_­reference_­t<D> shall satisfy the CopyAssignable requirements and assignment of the deleter from an lvalue of type D shall not throw an exception.

2
#

Effects: Transfers ownership from u to *this as if by calling reset(u.release()) followed by get_­deleter() = std​::​forward<D>(u.get_­deleter()).

3
#

Returns: *this.

template <class U, class E> unique_ptr& operator=(unique_ptr<U, E>&& u) noexcept;

4
#

Requires: If E is not a reference type, assignment of the deleter from an rvalue of type E shall be well-formed and shall not throw an exception. Otherwise, E is a reference type and assignment of the deleter from an lvalue of type E shall be well-formed and shall not throw an exception.

5
#

Remarks: This operator shall not participate in overload resolution unless:

  • (5.1)

    unique_­ptr<U, E>​::​pointer is implicitly convertible to pointer, and

  • (5.2)

    U is not an array type, and

  • (5.3)

    is_­assignable_­v<D&, E&&> is true.

6
#

Effects: Transfers ownership from u to *this as if by calling reset(u.release()) followed by get_­deleter() = std​::​forward<E>(u.get_­deleter()).

7
#

Returns: *this.

unique_ptr& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;

8
#

Effects: As if by reset().

9
#

Postconditions: get() == nullptr.

10
#

Returns: *this.
