NAME
std::unique_ptr::operatorbool - std::unique_ptr::operatorbool

Synopsis
   explicit operator bool() const noexcept; (since C++11)
                        (constexpr since C++23)
   Checks whether *this owns an object, i.e. whether get() != nullptr.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   true if *this owns an object, false otherwise.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <memory>
 int main()
 {
     std::unique_ptr<int> ptr(new int(42));
     if (ptr)
         std::cout << "before reset, ptr is: " << *ptr << '\n';
     ptr.reset();
     ptr ? (std::cout << "after reset, ptr is: " << *ptr)
         : (std::cout << "after reset ptr is empty") << '\n';
 }

Output:
 before reset, ptr is: 42
 after reset ptr is empty
