Detailed Description
template<typename _Tp>
class std::shared_ptr< _Tp >"A smart pointer with reference-counted copy semantics.
A shared_ptr object is either empty or owns a pointer passed to the constructor. Copies of a shared_ptr
share ownership of the same pointer. When the last shared_ptr that owns the pointer is destroyed or
reset, the owned pointer is freed (either by delete or by invoking a custom deleter that was passed to
the constructor).
A shared_ptr also stores another pointer, which is usually (but not always) the same pointer as it owns.
The stored pointer can be retrieved by calling the get() member function.
The equality and relational operators for shared_ptr only compare the stored pointer returned by get(),
not the owned pointer. To test whether two shared_ptr objects share ownership of the same pointer see
std::shared_ptr::owner_before and std::owner_less.
