Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Shared Pointer

The video tutorial explains the use of shared and weak pointers in C++ for managing object ownership and memory. It covers reference counting, the use of make_shared, and the benefits and drawbacks of shared pointers. The tutorial also discusses weak pointers for non-intrusive reference management and provides a server factory example to illustrate these concepts. Best practices for using smart pointers to avoid memory leaks and dangling pointers are highlighted.
