Description
This PR removes an empty
if
block that was originally used back when pointer management was manual using raw pointers (*
). At that time, theif
block was intended to decrement the reference counter in a manual garbage collection mechanism. Since the project now uses modern smart pointers, this block has become obsolete and can be safely removed without affecting functionality.The change also prevents the use of the
container
pointer after erasing the iteratorit
from theopenContainers
map, which was causing undefined behavior and potential crashes.Behaviour
Actual
When attempting to close a container, the program would access a pointer (
container
) after its related iterator had been erased, resulting in a crash.Expected
When closing a container, the program should remove the container entry safely without attempting to access invalidated pointers, preventing crashes.
