TSharedPtr

[TSharedPtr](API\Runtime\Core\TSharedPtr) is a non-intrusive reference-counted authoritative object pointer.

API > API/Runtime > API/Runtime/Core

TSharedPtr is a non-intrusive reference-counted authoritative object pointer. This shared pointer will be conditionally thread-safe when the optional Mode template argument is set to ThreadSafe.

TSharedPtr ( TSharedRef< OtherType, Mode > const& OtherSharedRef,
ObjectType* InObject
)

 Aliasing constructor used to create a shared pointer which shares its reference count with another shared object, but pointing to a different object, typically a subobject. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TWeakPtr< OtherType, Mode > const& InWeakPtr
)

 Constructs a shared pointer from a weak pointer, allowing you to access the object (if it hasn't expired yet.) Remember, if there are no more shared references to the object, the shared pointer will not be valid. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TSharedPtr< OtherType, Mode >&& OtherSharedPtr,
ObjectType* InObject
)

 Aliasing constructor used to create a shared pointer which shares its reference count with another shared object, but pointing to a different object, typically a subobject. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TSharedPtr< OtherType, Mode > const& OtherSharedPtr,
ObjectType* InObject
)

 Aliasing constructor used to create a shared pointer which shares its reference count with another shared object, but pointing to a different object, typically a subobject. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TSharedPtr< OtherType, Mode > const& InSharedPtr,
SharedPointerInternals::FConstCastTag
)

 Special constructor used internally to cast a 'const' shared pointer a 'mutable' pointer. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TSharedPtr< OtherType, Mode > const& InSharedPtr,
SharedPointerInternals::FStaticCastTag
)

 Special constructor used internally to statically cast one shared pointer type to another. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( OtherType* InObject,
DeleterType&& InDeleter
)

 Constructs a shared pointer that owns the specified object. Templates/SharedPointer.h  

TSharedPtr ( TWeakPtr< OtherType, Mode >&& InWeakPtr
)

 Constructs a shared pointer from a weak pointer, allowing you to access the object (if it hasn't expired yet.) Remember, if there are no more shared references to the object, the shared pointer will not be valid. Templates/SharedPointer.h

TSharedPtr ( TSharedPtr< OtherType, Mode > const& InSharedPtr
