How to properly pass unique_ptr to a constructor or function?

Hi! I recently started learning C++11 and am trying to understand smart pointers, specifically std::unique_ptr. I read that they help manage memory automatically and don't require delete. But I have a problem: I don't understand how to properly pass unique_ptr to functions and constructors. Here's a simple class I wrote: ```cpp #include #include class MyClass { public: MyClass(std::unique_ptr ptr) : data(std::move(ptr)) { std::cout << "Created with value: " << *data << std::endl; } private: std::unique_ptr data; }; void processData(std::unique_ptr ptr) { std::cout << "Processing: " << *ptr << std::endl; } int main() { auto p = std::make_unique(42); // How to pass p to the constructor
