[Dune-devel] Casting C pointers to std::unique_ptr

[Simon Praetorius]

There is an implementation ToUniquePtr<T> in dune-common, see  
dune/common/to_unique_ptr.hh that does exactly this. It was  
implemented shortly after the last meeting. It is basically a  
unique_ptr that allows to cast to raw pointers, but gives a warning  
that this is deprecated.

But, there was already a discussion to deprecate this ToUniquePtr in  
favor of a real unique_ptr. Currently it is available and not  
deprecated.

Best regards,
Simon
