What is weak_ptr in Modern C++ & why do we need it?
In modern C++ programming, smart pointers provides automatic memory management. Among these smart pointers, shared_ptr is widely used because it takes care of releasing memory when it is no longer needed, thanks to reference counting. However, misusing shared_ptr can lead to issues like memory leaks, especially in complex data structures such as binary trees. Let’s

How not to use Smart Pointers in C++?
In modern C++, std::shared_ptr is a smart pointer that manages shared ownership of a dynamically allocated object. It is part of the C++ Standard Library’s memory header. Shared pointers keep track of how many objects own a particular resource and automatically delete the resource when there are no owners left. However, if not used carefully,

Shared_ptr & Custom Deleter in Modern C++
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

What is shared_ptr in C++?
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
