Defined in header <experimental/scope>
template< class R, class D > class unique_resource;		(library fundamentals TS v3)

unique_resource is universal RAII wrapper for resource handles that owns and manages a resource through a handle and disposes of that resource when the unique_resource is destroyed.

The resource is disposed of using the deleter of type D when either of the following happens:

• the managing unique_resource object is destroyed,
• the managing unique_resource object is assigned from another resource via operator= or reset().

Let type RS be R if R is an object type, or std::reference_wrapper<std::remove_reference_t<R>> otherwise:

• unique_resource effectively holds a subobject of type RS which is or wraps the resource handle, a deleter of type D and a bool flag indicating whether the wrapper is owning the resource.
• For explanatory purpose, the subobject of type RS is called stored resource handle, and the stored (if R is an object type) or wrapped (if R is a reference type) R is called underlying resource handle. These two terms are not used by the LFTS.

Template parameters

R	-	resource handle type
D	-	deleter type
Type requirements
- R shall be an object type or an lvalue reference to an object type. Let UnrefR be std::remove_reference_t<R>, UnrefR shall be MoveConstructible, and if UnrefR is not CopyConstructible, std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<UnrefR> shall be true.
- D shall be a Destructible and MoveConstructible FunctionObject type, and if D is not CopyConstructible, std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<D> shall be true. Given an lvalue d of type D and an lvalue r of type UnrefR, the expression d(r) shall be well-formed.

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a new unique_resource (public member function)
(destructor)	disposes the managed resource if such is present (public member function)
operator=	assigns a unique_resource (public member function)
Modifiers
release	releases the ownership (public member function)
reset	disposes or replaces the managed resource (public member function)
Observers
get	accesses the underlying resource handle (public member function)
get_deleter	accesses the deleter used for disposing of the managed resource (public member function)
operator*operator->	accesses the pointee if the resource handle is a pointer (public member function)

Non-member functions

make_unique_resource_checked

creates a unique_resource, checking invalid value (function template)

Notes

Resource handle types satisfying NullablePointer can also be managed by std::unique_ptr. Unlike unique_ptr, unique_resource does not require NullablePointer.
