strong_ref

A strong_ref:

• is an owning-reference, i.e. a live strong_ref can not become a non-live strong_ref unless it is explicitly cleared
• can be converted to a non-owning weak_ref.

For example:

Type	strong_ref<Type>
std::shared_ptr<T>	✅
T*	❌
std::weak_ptr<T>	❌

Example

#include <FredEmmott/weak_refs.hpp>

using namespace FredEmmott::weak_refs;

static_assert(strong_ref<std::shared_ptr<int>>);
static_assert(!strong_ref<std::weak_ptr<int>>);
static_assert(!strong_ref<int*>);
