The header <memory> defines several types and function templates that describe properties of pointers and pointer-like types, manage memory for containers and other template types, and construct multiple objects in uninitialized memory buffers ([pointer.traits]–[specialized.algorithms]). The header also defines the templates unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr, and various template functions that operate on objects of these types ([smartptr]).
