T* get() const noexcept; | (until C++17) | |
element_type* get() const noexcept; | (since C++17) |
Returns the stored pointer.
(none).
The stored pointer.
A shared_ptr may share ownership of an object while storing a pointer to another object. get() returns the stored pointer, not the managed pointer.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
typedef std::shared_ptr<int> IntPtr;
void output(const std::string& msg, int* pInt)
{
std::cout << msg << *pInt << "\n";
}
int main()
{
int* pInt = new int(42);
IntPtr pShared(new int(42));
output("Naked pointer ", pInt);
// output("Shared pointer ", pShared); // compiler error
output("Shared pointer with get() ", pShared.get());
delete pInt;
}Output:
Naked pointer 42 Shared pointer with get() 42
