You’re right, it’s helpful to state it explicitly. I’ve added this precision to the article. Thanks for your suggestion, and it’s great that you enjoy the blog! Stay tuned 🙂

Accidentally stumbled upon your blog a couple of weeks ago, and now read every post and subscribed – great work! I enjoy both the technical aspect and just as a pleasant read.

Maybe it is worth noting somewhere that std::unique_ptr is a preferable pointer type to be returned from factory-type functions, which is another reason they are #1? Ofc, it could be deduced logically using the ownership argument, but since the post seems to be aimed for not very experienced developers, stating explicitly could be helpful imho.

Well spotted Jeremy! It’s now corrected.

I just found a typo:
– “but they doesn’t increment”

Herb Sutter talked about the weak_prt + cache use case at CppCon 2016. If anyone is interested in learning more about smart pointers, his excellent talk is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfmTagWcqoE . The weak_ptr part starts at 32m25s.
