std - shared_ptr - T

Explore a comprehensive lecture from the code::dive 2016 conference focusing on std::shared_ptr in C++. Delve into the intricacies of C++ standard library smart pointers, RAII principles, and resource ownership. Examine problem statements, usage examples, and potential pitfalls of std::shared_ptr. Investigate thread safety considerations, mandatory synchronization, and idealistic implementations. Learn about custom deleters, allocator interfaces, type erasure, and Empty Base Optimization. Gain insights into the design overview, advantages of separate pointers, and the aliasing constructor. Enhance your understanding of C++ memory management and smart pointer usage through this in-depth presentation.
