Replaces the managed object with the one managed by r. The object is shared with r. If r manages no object, *this manages no object too. 
1-3) Equivalent to std::weak_ptr<T>(r).swap(*this).
4,5) Equivalent to std::weak_ptr<T>(std::move(r)).swap(*this).
Parameters
| r | - | smart pointer to share an object with | 
Return value
*this
Notes
The implementation may meet the requirements without creating a temporary weak_ptr object.
