use like this: down_cast<T*>(foo);

Get a pointer to the zeroth element of the current object. If there is no current object, return NULL.

This has to be an operator with a precedence lower than << but higher than ?:

Comparison operators. These return whether a scoped_ptr and a raw pointer refer to the same object, not just to two different but equal objects.

Comparison operators. These return whether a scoped_array and a raw pointer refer to the same array, not just to two different but equal arrays.

Reset. Deletes the current owned object, if any. Then takes ownership of a new object, if given. this->reset(this->get()) works.

Reset. Calls the Free functor on the current owned object, if any. Then takes ownership of a new object, if given. this->reset(this->get()) works.

Constructor. Defaults to intializing with NULL. There is no way to create an uninitialized scoped_array. The input parameter must be allocated with n

Construction with no arguments sets ptr_ to NULL. There is no way to create an uninitialized scoped_ptr. The input parameter must be allocated with an

Swap two scoped arrays.

Swap two scoped pointers.

Reallocates the existing pointer, and returns 'true' if the reallcation is succesfull. If the reallocation failed, then the pointer remains in its pr

Destructor. If there is a C object, delete it. We don't need to test ptr_ == NULL because C++ does that for us.
