The first one runs an asynchronous computation inside of class A using std::async and the second one runs the same asynchronous computation using std::thread. The argument passed to both std::async and std::thread is a shared_ptr generated using `shared_from_this().` In the std::thread case, the instance of class A is properly de-refed and destroyed, but in the std::async case, the instance is not destroyed. I have run this program with g++ 9.x with the same results.
