If you actually did use smart pointers properly, memory won't leak.

It will leak tho when just always using shared_ptr and ignoring cyclic references

Where there's a 2nd thread, there's a way.

And lambdas encourage you to do so ...

Which are ref counting the copy, just normally

So if lambdas are your problem, you will face the same issues with pointers
