33
//!The weak_ptr class template stores a "weak reference" to an object
34
//!that's already managed by a shared_ptr. To access the object, a weak_ptr
35
//!can be converted to a shared_ptr using the shared_ptr constructor or the
36
//!member function lock. When the last shared_ptr to the object goes away
37
//!and the object is deleted, the attempt to obtain a shared_ptr from the
38
//!weak_ptr instances that refer to the deleted object will fail: the constructor
39
//!will throw an exception of type bad_weak_ptr, and weak_ptr::lock will
40
//!return an empty shared_ptr.
42
//!Every weak_ptr meets the CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements
43
//!of the C++ Standard Library, and so can be used in standard library containers.
44
//!Comparison operators are supplied so that weak_ptr works with the standard
45
//!library's associative containers.
47
//!weak_ptr operations never throw exceptions.
49
//!The class template is parameterized on T, the type of the object pointed to.
