Mastering Smart Pointers in C++: A Comprehensive Guide
This post provides an in-depth look into C++ smart pointers, essential tools for modern C++ memory management. We explore `std::unique_ptr`, `std::shared_ptr`, and `std::weak_ptr` for exclusive ownership, shared ownership, and breaking circular references, respectively. Understand their benefits, use cases, and how to implement them effectively to prevent memory leaks and dangling pointers.
