Smart Pointers C++

Ordinary Pointer explaination


1. Unique Pointer expln - unique_ptr<int> u_ptr1 = make_unique<int>(25);
reference and dereference
-> cannot be shared
-> can move ownership : unique_ptr<int> u_ptr2 = move(u_ptr1);
reference and dereference
-> After change in ownership the first one becomes null

explain constructor and destructor


class MyClass{
public:
Myclass(){
cout<<;
}
~MyClass(){
cout<<;}

unique_ptr<Myclass> u_ptr1 = make_unique<MyClass>();

------------shared pointer
can be shared
multiple owners can access
one raw pointer to multiple owners

shared_ptr<MyClass>shrd_ptr_1 = make_shared<MyClass>();

can have count of all owners


cout<<shrd_ptr_1.use_count()<<endl;
shrd_ptr_1<MyClass> shrd_ptr_2 = shrd_ptr_1
cout<<shrd_ptr_1.use_count()<<endl;

delete all ownership after the end of scope


shared pointer automatic memory deallocation

--------------
weak_ptr

if a memory location is pointed to a shared pointer it will not increase the number
of owners

preserves object in memory


locate a specific object in memory

weak_ptr<int> weakPtr1;
{
shared_ptr<int> s_ptr1 = make_shared<int>(25);
weakPtr1 = s_ptr1;
}
