std::auto_ptr bugs

[Michael Roth <mroth at arago dot de>]

Hi,

First, the std::auto_ptr is commented out in "memory" (egcs 1.0.*)
and their is a note that the class is still discussed by the C++
standardization committee. Is this really true ?

Second, if you uncomment std::auto_ptr their are several errors:

1.) 'auto_ptr& operator=(const auto_ptr& a)'  misses a 'return *this'
    after the closing bracket of the 'if' block.

2.) 'auto_ptr& operator=(const auto_ptr<T>& a)' misses the 
    'return *this' after the closing bracket of the 'if' block, too.

3.) IMHO 'X* get() const' is wrong. If I'm not false 'get()' should get
    the ownership of the pointer back ('owns=true;' is missing) !?!?

4.) The line 'X* release const __STL_NOTHROW { owns = false; return ptr }'
    is buggy. It misses a '()' after the word 'release'.
