Noteworthy points:
* 3 of the tests currently fail for me (fail at compile time, supposed to compile, run and pass). These are all associated with the converting constructor specified in [unique.ptr.single.ctor]. When the source and target are of different type, this emulation demands that the conversion be explicit, and refuses to compile on implicit conversions:
unique_ptr<base> b(unique_ptr<derived>()); // ok
unique_ptr<base> b = unique_ptr<derived>(); // causes 3 compile time failures under unique.ptr/unique.ptr.single/unique.ptr.single.ctor
I consider this not bad for an emulation. And otherwise things look pretty good. I was able to get more working than I thought I would.
This is consistent with the conversions I could not get to work in my Clang smart pointers. Sebastian
