Cyclic References

Explore how cyclic references happen between std::shared_ptr instances and how embedding std::weak_ptr can break these cycles. Understand the memory management implications and how to prevent resource leaks using smart pointers in C++.

We'll cover the following...

You get cyclic references of std::shared_ptr if they refer to each other. So, the resource counter never becomes 0, and the resource is ...
