sf::Text problem with a shared_ptr

[51423benam]

Hello,

I have a shared_ptr to a sf::Text object, declaration:
    std::shared_ptr<sf::Text> title;

But when I want for example to set the character size like so:
    title->setCharacterSize(24);

... a exception is thrown:
    "this" was "Nullptr"   (in Visual Studio 2017)

But, strangely, when I set the font before that, like so:
    title->setFont(titleFont);

... the exception still appears at setCharacterSize, setFont works fine!

Do you know why this could happen?

Have you initialized the text object? If not then accessing a nullptr is undefined behavior.
Use std::make_shared to create an instance.
Also you most likely want to create the object on the stack or at least use unique ownership with unique_ptr.

Oops, I just forgot make_shared  , thanks!
