Replaces the managed object with the one managed by r. The object is shared with r. If r manages no object, *this

1-3) Equivalent to std::weak_ptr <T> (r).swap ( *this)
4,5) Equivalent to std::weak_ptr <T> (std:: move (r) ).swap ( *this)

Parameters

r - smart pointer to share an object with

Return value

*this

Notes

The implementation may meet the requirements without creating a temporary weak_ptr object.

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
