[edit] Example
Demonstrates how expired is used to check validity of the pointer.
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <memory> std::weak_ptr<int> gw; void f() { if (!gw.expired()) { std::cout << "gw is valid\n"; } else { std::cout << "gw is expired\n"; } } int main() { { auto sp = std::make_shared<int>(42); gw = sp; f(); } f(); }
Output:
gw is valid gw is expired
