shared_ptr – Advanced STL, Part 1
Part 1 of my video lecture series exploring the Standard Template Library’s implementation is now available. In this part, I explain how some of shared_ptr’s magic works, including type erasure and make_shared<T>()’s optimizations that save both space and time. This advanced series assumes that you’re familiar with C++ and the STL’s interface, but not the STL’s implementation. If you haven’t used the STL extensively yet, I recommend watching my introductory series. For reference, here are all of the links: [STL Introduction] Part 1 (sequence containers) Part 2 (associative containers) Part 3 (smart pointers) Part 4 (Nurikabe solver) – see Wikipedia’s article and my updated source code Part 5 (Nurikabe solver, continued) Part 6 (algorithms and functors) Part 7 (algorithms and functors, continued) Part 8 (regular expressions) Part 9 (rvalue references) Part 10 (type traits) [Advanced STL] Part 1 ( shared_ptr) Stephan T.
