smart-owner's Issues

implement unit tests

i have some tests locally and will upload them at some time, but we need test coverage for this.

Topics to cover:

• Reference counting
• Casting
• weak_t / owner_t
• enable_weak_from_this<>
• make_owner<>

investigate self-assignment

investigate how assigning to itself behaves

Custom allocators

Mirror the functionality from std::shared_ptr / std::unique_ptr, where you can give a custom allocator and custom deallocator, that is used in the places of new and delete.

owner_t and weak_t object slicing

I think using owner_t and weak_t in their current state slices the object and lose all their data up copy assignment, because both are empty structs. Investigate and fix.

investigate the behaviour of owner<void>

Should work as intended, but hasn't been tested yet.

Intended is that it holds a void* pointer and behaves like a raw void pointer on accessing and casting.
