[libtorrent] Question regarding metadata_received_alert

[M***@massaroddel.de]

Sometimes i receive metadata_received_alert alerts and the torrent handle is NULL. I think
the reason for this is that i removed the torrent from the session before the alert gets
processed by my client.
My question is: Is that the intended behavior or should the torrent (handle) stay valid until all
alerts regarding this torrent have been released?

It is the intended behavior. torrent_handle is fundamentally a weak_ptr to
the torrent object. I think it would be risky to make alerts hold an owning
reference to torrents
