Multithreaded Programming with shared_ptr and Atomic References
Learn safe and efficient multithreaded programming using shared_ptr and atomic references with an example.
Using shared_ptr in a multithreaded environment
What about the std::shared_ptr? Can it be used in a multithreaded environment, and how is reference counting handled when multiple threads are accessing an object referenced by multiple shared pointers?
To understand shared pointers and thread safety, we need to recall how std::shared_ptr is typically implemented. Consider the following code:
