auto_ptr & lists

[santiagorf]

Hi all,
I was trying to use auto pointers in a list with the following code fragment:

class Node {
public:
    int i;
    auto_ptr<Node> pnode;

};

int main(){
    auto_ptr<Node> p1 (new Node);
    (*p1).i=1;

    auto_ptr<Node> p2 (new Node);
    p1->pnode=p2;
}

When I try to replace the lines:

    auto_ptr<Node> p2 (new Node);
    p1->pnode=p2;

by

p1->pnode (new Node);

I get the following error

no match for call to ‘(std::auto_ptr<Node>) (Node*)

How should I implement the line in order to avoid the error?

thank in advance

Try p1->pnode.reset(new Node);
