[REQUIRED] Please describe the question here:

I have lot of issue with "heap-use-after-free". To what I understand, the issue is linked to the fact reference is removed while beeing still in use in the SDK. When I made some "get" I just wait for the onFinish callback to be sure that firebase SDK don't need the reference anymore. But when using with Listener (ValueListener or ChildListener) we have no callback saying that the remove listener is finished. Then it's not clear when the reference can be safely destroyed. I tried lot of different approach but I always ends in use after free issue. Where can I find more informations about when a reference can be destroyed without risking a crash ?
