Weak Pointers
Explore the role of weak pointers in C++ smart pointers to manage memory effectively. Learn how std::weak_ptr works by borrowing resources from shared pointers without affecting reference counts, and understand its importance in breaking cyclic references for better resource control.

To be honest, std::weak_ptr is not a smart pointer. std::weak_ptr supports no transparent access to the resource because it only borrows the resource from a ...
