Will return a new instance of std::shared_ptr with a casted managed object type from the r's managed objet type. Both smart pointers will share the ownership of the managed object.
The resulting std::shared_ptr's managed object will be obtained by calling (in respective order):
1) static_cast<T*>(r.get()).
2) dynamic_cast<T*>(r.get()) (If the result of the dynamic_cast is 0, the returned shared_ptr will be empty).
3) const_cast<T*>(r.get()).
In all case, if the parameter r is an empty std::shared_ptr the result will be a new empty std::shared_ptr.
[edit] Parameters
| r | - | The pointer to convert |
