std::weak_ptr<T>::operator=

weak_ptr& operator=( const weak_ptr& r ) noexcept;
 (1) (since C++11) 
template< class Y > 
weak_ptr& operator=( const weak_ptr<Y>& r ) noexcept;
 (2) (since C++11) 
template< class Y > 
weak_ptr& operator=( const shared_ptr<Y>& r ) noexcept;
 (3) (since C++11) 
weak_ptr& operator=( weak_ptr&& r ) noexcept;
 (4) (since C++11) 
template< class Y > 
weak_ptr& operator=( weak_ptr<Y>&& r ) noexcept;
 (5) (since C++11)

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

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
