[ndnSIM] SIGSEGV when simply assigning one smart pointer to another?

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi John

ndnSIM creates multiple NFD instances in the same address space.
As a result, any global variable (including static members) you use will be
shared across all network nodes. If this isn't the intention, the
implementation is wrong.

Also, as stated in NFD developer guide, the Strategy instance is stateless,
while all states needed by strategy should be stored in tables. If you find
more instances of your strategy than the number of nodes, this is the
reason.
AsfStrategy is a good example on how to implement a complex strategy with
multiple components, while still keeping all states in tables.

Yours, Junxiao
