Lo Que Dominarás en Este Tutorial

Understand unique ownership with std::unique_ptr and zero-cost abstraction.

1. The Power of std::unique_ptr and Move Semantics

std::unique_ptr automatically deallocates memory when it goes out of scope.

CPP

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>

void runWorker() {
    auto conn = std::make_unique<int>(42);
    // Destructor called automatically when out of scope
}

Nota: Always prefer std::make_unique over new.
