Unreal Engine 4.x Scripting with C++ Cookbook - Second Edition

How to do it...

We can demonstrate the use of the four types of smart pointers referred to previously using a short code segment. In all of this code, the starting pointer can either be a raw pointer, or a copy of another smart pointer. All you have to do is take the C++ raw pointer and wrap it in a constructor call to any of the following: TSharedPtr, TSharedRef, TWeakPtr,, or TAutoPtr.

For example, take a look at the following code snippet:

// C++ Class NOT deriving from UObject 
class MyClass { }; 
TSharedPtr<MyClass>sharedPtr( new MyClass() );
