Warning C26406
Do not assign a raw pointer to an
owner<T>
(r.3)
This warning enforces R.3 from the C++ Core Guidelines. For more information, see C++ Core Guidelines R.3.
Remarks
Owners are initialized from allocations or from other owners. This warning occurs when you assign a value from a raw pointer to an owner pointer. Raw pointers don't guarantee ownership transfer; the original owner may still hold the resource and attempt to release it. It's okay to assign a value from an owner to a raw pointer. Raw pointers are valid clients to access resources, but not to manage them.
Code analysis name: DONT_ASSIGN_RAW_TO_OWNER
Example
Using address of object:
This sample attempts to assign ownership of the address of defaultSocket
to owner pointer socket
:
gsl::owner<Socket*> socket = defaultSocket ? &defaultSocket : new Socket(); // C26406
