Defined in header <experimental/memory>
template< class T > class shared_ptr;		(library fundamentals TS)

std::experimental::shared_ptr is a modified version of std::shared_ptr that adds support for arrays.

Member types

Member type	Definition
element_type	std::remove_extent_t<T>

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs new shared_ptr (public member function)
Observers
get	returns the stored pointer (public member function)
operator*operator->	dereferences the stored pointer (public member function)
operator[]	provides index access to the array (public member function)

Non-member functions

static_pointer_castdynamic_pointer_castconst_pointer_castreinterpret_pointer_cast

applies static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast, or reinterpret_cast to the stored pointer (function template)

Helper classes

std::hash<std::experimental::shared_ptr>

hash support for std::experimental::shared_ptr (class template specialization)

Members and non-members identical to std::shared_ptr

Member functions

The following member functions work with std::experimental::shared_ptr instead of std::shared_ptr and std::experimental::weak_ptr instead of std::weak_ptr. The behavior is otherwise identical.

(destructor)	destructs the owned object if no more shared_ptrs link to it (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
operator=	assigns the shared_ptr (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
Modifiers
reset	replaces the managed object (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
swap	swaps the managed objects (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
Observers
use_count	returns the number of shared_ptr objects referring to the same managed object (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
unique (until C++20)	checks whether the managed object is managed only by the current shared_ptr object (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
operator bool	checks if the stored pointer is not null (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)
owner_before	provides owner-based ordering of shared pointers (public member function of std::shared_ptr<T>)

Non-member functions

These non-member functions are declared in the std::experimental namespace, and work with std::experimental::shared_ptr rather than std::shared_ptr, but otherwise behaves identically to the corresponding C++14 function.

make_sharedmake_shared_for_overwrite (C++20)	creates a shared pointer that manages a new object (function template)
allocate_sharedallocate_shared_for_overwrite (C++20)	creates a shared pointer that manages a new object allocated using an allocator (function template)
get_deleter	returns the deleter of specified type, if owned (function template)
operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>=operator<=> (removed in C++20)(removed in C++20)(removed in C++20)(removed in C++20)(removed in C++20)(C++20)	compares with another shared_ptr or with nullptr (function template)
operator<<(std::shared_ptr)	outputs the value of the stored pointer to an output stream (function template)
std::swap(std::shared_ptr) (C++11)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)

std::atomic_is_lock_free(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_load(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_load_explicit(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_store(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_store_explicit(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_exchange(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_exchange_explicit(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_compare_exchange_weak(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_compare_exchange_strong(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit(std::shared_ptr)std::atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit(std::shared_ptr) (deprecated in C++20)(removed in C++26)

specializes atomic operations for std::shared_ptr (function template)

Helper class templates

These class templates are declared in the std::experimental namespace, and work with std::experimental::shared_ptr and std::experimental::weak_ptr rather than std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr, but otherwise behaves identically to the corresponding C++14 class template.

owner_less (C++11)	provides mixed-type owner-based ordering of shared and weak pointers (class template)
enable_shared_from_this (C++11)	allows an object to create a shared_ptr referring to itself (class template)
