Description It is a series of part of the Rust Run Series, 2018. A discussion on Smart Pointers in Rust from Chapter 15 of TRPL. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch15-00-smart-pointers.html
A smart pointer is an abstract data type that simulates a pointer while providing added features, such as automatic memory management or bounds checking. Such features are intended to reduce bugs caused by the misuse of pointers while retaining efficiency. Smart pointers typically keep track of the memory they point to, and may also be used to manage other resources, such as network connections and file handles. Smart pointers were first popularized in the programming language C++.
