Fixes apache#358 Fixes apache#359 ### Motivation `async_wait` is not used correctly in some places. A callback that captures the `this` pointer or reference to `this` is passed to `async_wait`, if this object is destroyed when the callback is called, an invalid memory access will happen. ### Modifications Use the following pattern in all `async_wait` calls. ```c++ std::weak_ptr<T> weakSelf{shared_from_this()}; timer_->async_wait([weakSelf](/* ... */) { if (auto self = weakSelf.lock()) { self->foo(); } }); ```
