Maybe.
My first thought for such things is that I’d prefer to write them as:
adoptPtr(new Foo).releasePtr()
At first that may look strange, but it has a huge benefit. It can be refactored
to:
Foo::create().releasePtr()
That’s the main reason I don’t suggest having a leakPtr or dontAdoptPtr
function.
I have thought that leakPtr might be a good alternate name for releasePtr. In
fact I have proposed renaming releaseRef to leakRef more than once.
