C++ 20 (2a) New Features - Atomic Smart Pointers

The video tutorial discusses atomic smart pointers in C++, focusing on their behavior in multithreading environments. It explains the use of J threads and shared pointers, highlighting the atomic nature of control blocks but not the pointer values. The video identifies issues with shared pointers in concurrent threads and proposes a solution using atomic shared pointers, although current compilers do not support this yet. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next topic on efficient atomic waiting.

How can shared pointers be made truly atomic according to the video?
