Circular References and Shared Pointers
When working with std::shared_ptr, you might encounter an issue known as a circular reference. A circular reference occurs when two objects hold shared_ptr references to each other. Since shared_ptr uses reference counting, the count never reaches zero, causing a memory leak.

There is a way to fix this issue you need to use a different type of smart pointer.
Var alt klart?
