Constructs a new `weak_ptr` that potentially shares an object with `r`.

1) Default constructor. Constructs empty `weak_ptr`.
2) Constructs new `weak_ptr` which shares an object managed by `r`. If `r` manages no object, *this manages no object too. The templated overloads don't participate in overload resolution unless either `Y*` is implicitly convertible to `T*`, or `Y` is the type "array of `N` `U`" for some type `U` and some number `N`, and `T` is the type "array of unknown bound of (possibly cv-qualified) `U`".
3) Move constructors. Moves a `weak_ptr` instance from `r` into `*this`. After this, `r` is empty and r.use_count()==0. The templated overload doesn't participate in overload resolution unless either `Y*` is implicitly convertible to `T*`, or `Y` is the type "array of `N` `U`" for some type `U` and some number `N`, and `T` is the type "array of unknown bound of (possibly cv-qualified) `U`".

### Parameters

r | - | a std::experimental::shared_ptr or std::experimental::weak_ptr that will be viewed by this std::experimental::weak_ptr

### Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### Example

(constructor) | creates a new `weak_ptr` (public member function of `std::weak_ptr<T>`)
operator= | assigns the `weak_ptr` (public member function of `std::weak_ptr<T>`)
