  sharedPtr->i = 5;

  weak_ptr<MySharedStruct> weakPtr;
  weakPtr = sharedPtr;

  print_value_of_i(weakPtr);

  sharedPtr.reset(new MySharedStruct() ); // <<----- How does weak_ptr know it has expired after this line executes?
  sharedPtr->i = 10;

  print_value_of_i(weakPtr);

  return 0;
}

考虑到shared_ptr引用的资源已经被另一个资源所替代,weak_ptr知道它已经过期了吗？什么是weak_ptr跟踪,以确定旧的共享资源被销毁并被新的共享资源所替代？将会感谢在weak_ptr中锁定的方法的示例定义(如果相关).
