Description

Checks whether our referenced instance is valid (ie, whether it's safe to call AsShared). If this returns false, it means that your instance has either:

  • Not yet been assigned to a shared pointer (via MakeShared or MakeShareable).
  • Is currently within its constructor (so the shared instance isn't yet available).
  • Is currently within its destructor (so the shared instance is no longer available).
