std::unique_ptr<T,Deleter>::operator<<

Inserts the value of the pointer managed by p into the output stream os.

Equivalent to os << p.get().

This overload participates in overload resolution only if os << p.get()

Parameters

Return value

os

Notes

If std::unique_ptr <Y, D> :: pointer is a pointer to a character type (e.g., when Y is char([]) or CharT([])), this may end up calling the overloads of operator<< (causing undefined behavior if the pointer does not in fact point to such a string), rather than the overload for printing the value of the pointer itself

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
 
class Foo {};
 
int main()
{
    auto p = std::make_unique<Foo>();
    std::cout << p << '\n';
    std::cout << p.get() << '\n';
}
