Type-Safe Interfaces with Modern C++ - Other Examples of Owning/View Classes

The video tutorial explores ownership semantics in C++, focusing on pointers, function objects, and generalized views. It emphasizes the use of smart pointers for managing dynamic memory and introduces the concept of non-owning wrappers like function_ref and span. The tutorial also highlights best practices for using owning and non-owning types efficiently.
