NoneStd::weak_ptr is a smart pointer that holds a non-owning ("weak") reference to an object that is managed by std::shared_ptr

The std::weak_ptr is a smart pointer that holds a non-owning ("weak") reference to an object that is managed by std::shared_ptr.

The class template std::weak_ptr is designed for use with shared-ptr and represents a non-owning reference; useful in avoiding circular references, it can also be used as a "tracking reference" and converted to a std::shared_ptr when ownership is required.
