+* Do not use ``CM_AUTO_PTR`` or ``std::auto_ptr``.

* Use ``CM_EQ_DELETE;`` instead of ``= delete;``.
- Defining functions as *deleted* is not supported in C++98. Using
+ Older C++11 compilers do not support deleting functions. Using
``CM_EQ_DELETE`` will delete the functions if the compiler supports it and
give them no implementation otherwise. Calling such a function will lead
to compiler errors if the compiler supports *deleted* functions and linker

+
+This property is only used if the :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` property is ``ON``

+:prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES` allows to add additional strings to the
