Complete Modern C++ - std::weak_ptr Internals

The video tutorial explains the internal workings of shared and weak pointers in C++. It covers how shared pointers create control blocks with reference counts and how weak pointers interact with these control blocks. The tutorial demonstrates how to use the expired and lock methods to manage access to underlying pointers. A practical example is provided using Visual Studio to illustrate the concepts. The video concludes with a brief mention of further topics to be covered in the next video.
