Detailed Description

  template<typename _Tp>
class std::weak_ptr< _Tp >"A non-owning observer for a pointer owned by a shared_ptr.

Since
    C++11

A weak_ptr provides a safe alternative to a raw pointer when you want a non-owning reference to an object that is managed by a shared_ptr.

Unlike a raw pointer, a weak_ptr can be converted to a new shared_ptr that shares ownership with every other shared_ptr that already owns the pointer. In other words you can upgrade from a non-owning 'weak' reference to an owning shared_ptr, without having access to any of the existing shared_ptr objects.

Also unlike a raw pointer, a weak_ptr does not become 'dangling' after the object it points to has been destroyed. Instead, a weak_ptr becomes expired and can no longer be converted to a shared_ptr that owns the freed pointer, so you cannot accidentally access the pointed-to object after it has been destroyed.
