std::unique_ptr for DB objects... or bad idea lol

Code - C++: [Select]

template <class T>
class DBObjectDeleter
{
public:
    inline void operator()(T *p)
    {
        if (p != nullptr)
            return this->close(p);
    }
private:
    inline void close(T *p)
    {
        if (!p->objectId().isNull())
            p->close();
        else
            this->deleter(p);
    }
    inline void deleter(T *p)
    {
        delete p;
        p = nullptr;
    }
};
 
template<typename T>
using unique_dbo_ptr = std::unique_ptr<T, DBObjectDeleter<T>>;
 
typedef unique_dbo_ptr<AcDbLine> AcDbLineUPtr;
 

Code - C++: [Select]

    void quaz()
    {
        AcDbLineUPtr pLine(new AcDbLine());
        //...
    }
