In server_interface::MessageClient(client): In the branch where "client" was found to be not connected (else on line 918): Line 926, "client.reset()," is before line 929, "erase client from m_deqConnections." This means "client" will evaluate to nullptr, whereas the matching shared_ptr in m_deqConnections has not been reset. No match will be found; nothing is removed from the container. Fix: I swapped the two lines. Found by / reproducable by: My implementation had a function "DisconnectClient" which copied the logic in this else block. Another function, "DisconnectAll," simply said: while (!m_deqConnections.empty()) DisconnectClient(m_deqConnections.front()); Infinite loop.
