##### Reason ##### Reason
Passing a smart pointer transfers or shares ownership. Passing a smart pointer transfers or shares ownership and should only be used when ownership semantics are intended (see [R.30](#Rr-smartptrparam)).
Passing by smart pointer restricts the use of a function to callers that use smart pointers. Passing by smart pointer restricts the use of a function to callers that use smart pointers.
Passing a shared smart pointer (e.g., `std::shared_ptr`) implies a run-time cost. Passing a shared smart pointer (e.g., `std::shared_ptr`) implies a run-time cost.
