Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Pros and Cons - Proxy Design Pattern

The video tutorial explains the Proxy design pattern, which provides a layer of indirection to manage access to a real subject. It covers different types of proxies: virtual, protection, remote, and smart pointer. Each type serves a specific purpose, such as creating expensive objects on demand, restricting access, simplifying client implementation, and managing memory. The tutorial also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using the proxy pattern, including its ability to add behavior at compile time and the tight coupling it creates. Guidelines for when to use the proxy pattern are provided.
