This doesn't seem to provide much benefit over writing uP<pending_diagnostic> d; and with that construct, you don't need to worry about the actual relationship between pending_diagnostic and pending_diagnostic_up. I think the GDB situation is different because many of the types do not have proper destructors, so std::unique_ptr needs a custom deleter. Thanks, Florian
