unique_ptr::operator bool
(C++14)(C++20)
(until C++20)(C++20)
(C++20)
explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
 
 (since C++11) (constexpr since C++23)
Checks whether *this owns an object, i.e. whether get()  != nullptr.
Contents
[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
true if *this owns an object, false otherwise.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <memory> int main() { std::unique_ptr <int> ptr(new int(42)); if (ptr) std::cout << "before reset, ptr is: " << *ptr << '\n'; ptr.reset(); (ptr ? (std::cout << "after reset, ptr is: " << *ptr) : (std::cout << "after reset ptr is empty")) << '\n'; }
Output:
before reset, ptr is: 42 after reset ptr is empty
