What happens when you erase a container element that contains a pointer to a dynamically allocated object?

What will be an ideal response?


Erasing an element that contains a pointer to a dynamically allocated object does not delete that object—this can lead to a memory leak. If the element is a unique_ptr, the memory would be deleted. If the element is a shared_ptr, the reference count to the dynamically allocated object would be decremented and the memory would be deleted only if the reference count reached 0.
