Re: [PATCH 1/3] Introduce gdb::unique_ptr

This is clearly way above my C++ skill level, I feel like I'm reading 
boost code.  But since it's well encapsulated in a "support" file and 
mimics the standard behaviors, I think it's good.  I just hope the whole 
codebase won't end up lookup like this :).

Since our coding style doesn't allow the "if (ptr)" form, is it possible
to make it cause a compile error?

pointer_type?
