Weak, Strong, Unowned Oh, My!
Quick Intro
Hi! I'm Hector Matos

Sr. Software Engineer @ Capital One

Father of KrakenDev.io
ARC
- (void)releaseTheKraken { Kraken *kraken = [[Kraken alloc] init]; //+1
retain [kraken release]; //generated by ARC }
Magic has it's limitations And so does ARC

Strong References Default in Swift
Now Stop, Example Time //Kraken holds a strong reference to
the yummy human. class Kraken { var yummyHuman: Human }
// The animation closure holds a strong reference to self
// self.retainCount is 1 here UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) { // self.retainCount is 2 here self.view.alpha = 0.0 }
Questions?
Weak References Safe - Independent
Stop, Collaborate, & Listen! (to my next example) class KrakensFace:
UIView { @IBOutlet weak var razorSharpTeeth: UIView! } KrakenAPI.eat(yummyHuman, whenFinished: { [weak self] in self?.waitForNextMealTime() })
WTF is "[weak self] in"?!
Capture Lists It's just an array. That's all it is.
There, there. It's all over now. !
KrakenAPI.eat(yummyHuman, finished: { [weak self, unowned lovedOne = yummyHuman.lovedOne] in
self?.waitForNextMealTime() })
Questions?
Unowned References Mutual Dependence
class Human { var heart: ! func seeKrakenComing() { heart.haveHeartAttack()
} } class !: Organ { unowned let human: Human init(human: Human) { self.human = human } func haveHeartAttack() { human.die() } } let human = Human() human.heart = !(human: human)
Questions?
