Replaces the managed object with the one managed by r or m.
1) Effectively calls reset(r.release()). 
2) Effectively calls reset(r.release()). 
Y* must be implicitly convertible to T*.3) Effectively calls reset(m.release()). 
auto_ptr_ref is an implementation-defined type that holds a reference to auto_ptr. std::auto_ptr  is implicitly convertible to and from this type. The implementation is allowed to provide the template with a different name or implement equivalent functionality in other ways.[edit] Parameters
 r
 -
 another 
auto_ptr to transfer the ownership of the object from
 m
 -
 an object of implementation-defined type that holds a reference to 
auto_ptr
[edit] Return value
*this.
[edit] Notes
The constructor and the copy assignment operator from auto_ptr_ref is provided to allow copy-constructing and assigning std::auto_ptr  from nameless temporaries. Since its copy constructor and copy assignment operator take the argument as non-const reference, they cannot bind rvalue arguments directly. However, a user-defined conversion can be executed (which releases the original auto_ptr), followed by a call to the constructor or copy-assignment operator that take auto_ptr_ref by value. This is an early implementation of move semantics.
[edit] Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior | 
|---|---|---|---|
