[memory.syn]

The header defines several types and function templates that describe properties of pointers and pointer-like types, manage memory for containers and other template types, destroy objects, and construct objects in uninitialized memory buffers ([pointer.traits]–[specialized.addressof] and [specialized.algorithms]).

The header also defines the templates unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr, and various function templates that operate on objects of these types ([smartptr]).
