Returns the number of shared_ptr objects that share ownership over the same pointer as this object.
Notice that weak_ptr objects in the owning group are not counted.
If this is an emptyweak_ptr, the function returns zero.
Library implementations are not required to keep a count of any particular set of owners, and thus it may not be efficient to call this function. To check specifically whether use_count is 0, you can use member expired instead, which may be faster.
Parameters
none
Return value
The number of objects sharing ownership over the same pointer as this.
