Multi-thread programming is essential in high performance game programming. But, the widely used C++11 shared_ptr and weak_ptr have malfunction and performance problems in multi-thread environments. In this paper, we propose Lock-Free shared_ptr and weak_ptr, which have higher performance than current error preventing methods. These use a non-blocking algorithm to prevent data race in multi-thread environments. As a result of experimenting in an 8 thread environment, performance has improved up to 7424% in a situation where competition between threads is low, and 3767% in high competition.
