Type-Safe Interfaces with Modern C++ - Other Examples of Owning/View Classes

The video tutorial explores ownership semantics in C++, focusing on pointers, function objects, and generalized views. It emphasizes the use of smart pointers for managing dynamic memory and introduces the concept of non-owning wrappers like function_ref and span. The tutorial also highlights best practices for using owning and non-owning types efficiently.

What are the differences between owning and non-owning pointers in C++?

Explain the concept of smart pointers and their advantages over raw pointers.

What is a string view and how does it relate to ownership semantics?

Describe the purpose of the function ref proposed in P0792.

How does the GSL span provide a generalized view over contiguous sequences?

What are the implications of using view types in your classes and interfaces?

Discuss the efficiency of owning types versus non-owning types.
