template<class T, class U>
  constexpr shared_ptr<T> static_pointer_cast(const shared_ptr<U>& r) noexcept;
template<class T, class U>
  constexpr shared_ptr<T> static_pointer_cast(shared_ptr<U>& r) noexcept;

Returns: shared_ptr<T>(R, static_cast<typename shared_ptr<T>::element_type*>(r.get() where R is r for the first overload, and std::move(r) for the second.

[Note 1:

The seemingly equivalent expression shared_ptr<T>(static_cast<T*>(r.get() can result in undefined behavior, attempting to delete the same object twice.

  constexpr shared_ptr<T> dynamic_pointer_cast(const shared_ptr<U>& r) noexcept;
template<class T, class U>
  constexpr shared_ptr<T> dynamic_pointer_cast(shared_ptr<U>& r) noexcept;

Returns:

(6.1)
When dynamic_cast<typename shared_ptr<T>::element_type*>(r.get() returns a non-null value p, shared_ptr<T>(R, p), where R is r for the first overload, and std::move(r) for the second.
(6.2)
Otherwise, shared_ptr<T>().

The seemingly equivalent expression shared_ptr<T>(dynamic_cast<T*>(r.get() can result in undefined behavior, attempting to delete the same object twice.

[Note 4:

The seemingly equivalent expression shared_ptr<T>(reinterpret_cast<T*>(r.get() can result in undefined behavior, attempting to delete the same object twice.
