Returns: the stored pointer.
T& operator*() const noexcept;
Requires: get() != 0.
Returns: *get().
Remarks: When T is void, it is unspecified whether this member function is declared. If it is declared, it is unspecified what its return type is, except that the declaration (although not necessarily the definition) of the function shall be well formed.
T* operator->() const noexcept;
Requires: get() != 0.
Returns: get().
long use_count() const noexcept;
Returns: the number of shared_ptr objects, *this included, that share ownership with *this, or 0 when *this is empty.
[ Note: use_count() is not necessarily efficient. — end note ]
Returns: use_count() == 1.
[ Note: unique() may be faster than use_count(). If you are using unique() to implement copy on write, do not rely on a specific value when get() == nullptr. — end note ]
explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
Returns: get() != 0.
template<class U> bool owner_before(shared_ptr<U> const& b) const;
template<class U> bool owner_before(weak_ptr<U> const& b) const;
Returns: An unspecified value such that
x.owner_before(y) defines a strict weak ordering as defined in [alg.sorting];
under the equivalence relation defined by owner_before, !a.owner_before(b) && !b.owner_before(a), two shared_ptr or weak_ptr instances are equivalent if and only if they share ownership or are both empty.
