Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <memory> #include <string> struct Foo { Foo(int _val) : val(_val) { std::cout << "Foo...\n"; } ~Foo() { std::cout << "~Foo...\n"; } std::string print() { return std::to_string(val); } int val; }; int main() { std::shared_ptr<Foo> p1 = std::make_shared<Foo>(100); std::shared_ptr<Foo> p2 = std::make_shared<Foo>(200); auto print = [&]() { std::cout << " p1=" << (p1 ? p1->print() : "nullptr"); std::cout << " p2=" << (p2 ? p2->print() : "nullptr") << '\n'; }; print(); p1.swap(p2); print(); p1.reset(); print(); p1.swap(p2); print(); }
Output:
Foo... Foo... p1=100 p2=200 p1=200 p2=100 ~Foo... p1=nullptr p2=100 p1=100 p2=nullptr ~Foo...
