Description

TAutoPtr uses default copy / move constructors which can cause dangling references.

This means there are a number of cases (copying auto pointers in inner scopes, passing auto pointers by value, etc) where the underlying pointer can be freed when one instance is destroyed, but the other instances are still pointing to that garbage data.

Steps to Reproduce

TAutoPtr has been deprecated.
