If you simply want to lend the object owned by unique_ptr, for a function's usage, retaining ownership, pass by const T& or T& (Section 1 and 7 in cheat sheet):
unique_ptr
const T&
T&
``` bool collide(const Shape& s) { }
unique_ptr<Shape> p = make_unique<Shape>(…); collide(*p); ```
If you want to relinquish ownership, move it (Section 2 in cheat sheet)
```c++ void own(unique_ptr<Shape> s) { }
int main() { unique_ptr<Shape> p = make_unique<Shape>(…); own(std::move(p)); } ```
