MCQ On Smart Pointers

1 / 10

What is the primary purpose of std::weak_ptr?

To provide shared ownership of a resource.

To prevent cyclic references in shared ownership.

To delete a resource when the pointer goes out of scope.

To manage single ownership of a resource.

2 / 10

What does std::make_shared do?

Creates a raw pointer to a new object.

Creates a std::shared_ptr to a new object and manages the memory allocation efficiently.

Creates a std::unique_ptr to a new object.

Creates a std::weak_ptr to a new object.

3 / 10

What happens when the last std::shared_ptr owning a resource is destroyed?

The resource is leaked.

The resource is transferred to a std::unique_ptr.

The resource remains in memory but is inaccessible.

The resource is deleted.

4 / 10

Which smart pointer would you use for single ownership of a resource that needs to be transferred between functions?

std::unique_ptr

std::shared_ptr

std::weak_ptr

std::auto_ptr

5 / 10

Which header file must be included to use std::unique_ptr?

<smart_ptr>

<std_unique_ptr>

6 / 10

Which of the following is true about std::unique_ptr?

It allows multiple pointers to manage the same resource.

It does not allow copying but allows moving.

It uses reference counting to manage resource ownership.

It is designed for shared ownership of a resource.

7 / 10

How do you release the ownership of the resource managed by a std::unique_ptr without deleting it?

release()

reset()

get()

destroy()

8 / 10

Given the following code, what will be the output?

#include <memory>
#include <iostream>

class Test {
public:
  Test() {
    std::cout << "Constructed\n";
  }
  ~Test() {
    std::cout << "Destructed\n";
  }
};

void foo(std::shared_ptr<Test> ptr) {
  std::cout << "Inside foo\n";
}

int main() {
  std::shared_ptr<Test> sp = std::make_shared<Test>();
  foo(sp);
  std::cout << "End of main\n";
  return 0;
}

Constructed, Inside foo, Destructed, End of main

Constructed, End of main, Inside foo, Destructed

Constructed, Inside foo, End of main, Destructed

Inside foo, Constructed, End of main, Destructed

9 / 10

Which of the following is true about std::weak_ptr?

It can be converted to std::shared_ptr.

It manages the ownership of a resource.

It can be directly dereferenced.

It increments the reference count of std::shared_ptr

10 / 10

Which of the following is not a characteristic of std::unique_ptr?

It ensures single ownership of the resource.

It automatically deletes the resource when it goes out of scope.

It is movable.

It is copyable.
