18 * make_unique_wrapper is intended to facilitate the use of std::unique_ptr
19 * to wrap C-style APIs that don't provide RAII resource management facilities.
20 *
21 * Usage example:
22 *
23 * // API
24 * struct my_c_struct {
25 * // ...
26 * };
27 *
28 * struct my_c_struct *create_my_c_struct(void);
29 * void destroy_my_c_struct(struct my_c_struct *value);
30 *
31 * // Creating a unique_ptr to my_c_struct.
32 * auto safe_c_struct =
33 * lttng::make_unique_wrapper<my_c_struct, destroy_my_c_struct>(
34 * create_my_c_struct());
35 *
36 * Note that this facility is intended for use in the scope of a function.
37 * If you need to return this unique_ptr instance, you should consider writting
38 * a proper, idiomatic, wrapper.
