The auto_ptr template was deprecated in C++11 because it has many well known
problems that are solved by tts modern counterpart unique_ptr.

Auto_ptr was also often abused in cases where it shouldn't have been used. The
shared_ptr and weak_ptr might be the suitable replacements in these cases. Also
if auto_ptr was misemployed to manage arrays then the replacement should get
custom deleters to do the delete[] for destructing the array. It's too bad that
e.g. boost's shared_array_ptr didn't make it into the C++11 standard.
