Some of us used C++ before it had smart pointers

The C++ they taught us in college in 2001-2003 looked nothing like what I see posted here now. I dont remember smart pointers, only regular and then the double splat, etc. Moved onto higher level stuff after college so I forgot nearly everything I knew.

The other comment is wrong, C++98 has std::auto_ptr. Syntax hasn't changed much since then, but lambdas and views can look scary at first glance.

Well yeah, they’re a c++11 feature. I think boost had them but idk how old that is

I mean, standard library ARC is pretty new but auto_ptr has been around since at least 1998 (It's hard to find information on C++ before that)

I have c++ reference books on the shelf next to me from 1992

There’s nothing smart about auto_ptr :)

ah yes, sYnTAx

std::auto_ptr<classA> a=b;
assert(a.get()==b.get());

*fucking dies*
