Release Memory used by Document Instance when Scope Ends to Prevent Memory Leak in Aspose.Words for C++

Aspose.Words Product Family

Perhaps I don’t understand how to use SharedPtr and MakeObject, but the Visual Studio resource monitor shows this code using up lots of memory as it runs:

#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Model/Document/Document.h>

using namespace Aspose::Words;
using namespace Aspose::Words::Saving;

int main()
{
	System::SharedPtr<Document> doc;

	while ( true )
	{
		doc = System::MakeObject<Document>( System::String( "My Doc In.docx" ) );
		doc->Save( System::String( "My Doc Out.docx" ) );
	}
}

I have a library using Aspose.Words that uses a single Document object. In regular C++, I would normally delete the Document object, but delete doesn’t work on SharedPtr. Whenever I open a new document into that object, it seems like the old document is never removed from memory. Please help!
