# std::shared_ptr<T>::~shared_ptr

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | memory‎ | shared ptr

~shared_ptr(); |  |

If `*this` owns an object and it is the last `shared_ptr` owning it, the object is destroyed through the owned deleter.

After the destruction, the smart pointers that shared ownership with `*this`, if any, will report a use_count() that is one less than its previous value.

### Notes

Unlike std::unique_ptr, the deleter of std::shared_ptr is invoked even if the managed pointer is null.
