In this article, we will compare the C++11 Smart Pointer implementation shared_ptr with a normal pointer. Missing ++, – – and [] operators in shared_ptr While shared_ptr in C++ offers robust memory management and facilitates collaborative ownership of resources, it intentionally lacks some operators that are available to raw pointers. This is primarily to prevent […]

In this article, we will discuss when and how to use a custom deleter with shared_ptr in Modern C++. Using shared_ptr with Arrays in C++ When a shared_ptr object goes out of scope, its destructor is indeed called. Within its destructor, the reference count is decremented by one. If the new value of the reference

In this article, we will discuss one of the most used Smart Pointers in C++: shared_ptr. What is std::shared_ptr<>? The std::shared_ptr is a smart pointer class provided by C++11. Multiple std::shared_ptr objects can point to same dynamically allocated memory. It ensures automatic deletion of the associated memory when there are no more shared_ptr instances pointing
