There isn't.

You don't. You use vector:

vector<char> myArray1 (myLenArray1);

The nicest solution were when auto_ptr had a second template parameter,
say

auto_ptr<T, Deleter=DefaultDeleter<T> >

with an obvious implementation.

Then you could easily implement

auto_ptr<char, ArrayDeleter<char> >,

or auto_ptr<char, CDeleter > (for a C function returning a pointer),

or auto_ptr<char, SomeSpecialLibraryDeleter<char> >,

or whatever you need.

This would work fine without breaking
any existing code; it is, however, not part of the standard.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a nice solution to use auto_ptr with array.

In the follow code:
{ // Use of array.
  char *myArray1 = new char[myLenArray1];
  char *myArray2 = new char[myLenArray2];
  ....
  delete [] myArray1;
  delete [] myArray2;
}
to use auto_ptr, what do I have to do?

Use vector<>, valarray<>, or something along those lines.

There is no standard auto_ptr that can be used with an array. You have
to create your own, which will call the 'delete[]' operator in its
destructor.
