Mastering C++ Standard Library Features [Video] - std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr

The video tutorial explores the concept of shared ownership in C++ using std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr. It explains how shared pointers manage dynamically allocated objects through reference counting, allowing multiple owners. The tutorial includes code examples demonstrating sharing and transferring ownership, and highlights the advantages of using std::make_shared for better performance. It also discusses the runtime overhead of shared pointers and introduces std::weak_ptr for temporary ownership, useful in breaking dependency cycles. The video concludes with a recap of key points.
