NSTimer循环引用不释放问题

倒计时是电商APP中经常遇到的，倒计时的技术实现，Apple的Foundation框架提供了NSTimer类
倒计时的实现如下：
HZTimer.h

@protocol HZTimerDelegate <NSObject>

- (void)timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:(NSInteger)seconds;

@end


@interface HZTimer : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, weak) id <HZTimerDelegate> delegate;
- (void)stop;
- (void)start;
@end

.m

#import "HZTimer.h"

@interface HZTimer ()
{
    NSTimer *timer;
    NSInteger seconds;
}
@end


@implementation HZTimer
- (instancetype)init{
    self = [super init];
    return self;
}
- (void)stop{

    [timer invalidate];
    timer = nil;
}
- (void)start{
    seconds = 5;
    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(timerFired) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
- (void)timerFired{
    seconds--;
    if (seconds >= 0) {

        if (self.delegate && [self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:)]) {
            [self.delegate timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:seconds];
        }

    }

}
- (void)dealloc{
    NSLog(@"---------------timer-dealloc");
}
@end

外界的使用：

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "HZTimer.h"
@interface ViewController ()<HZTimerDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *titleLabel;

@end

@implementation ViewController
- (IBAction)startBtnClick:(UIButton *)sender {
    [self fireTimer];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

}
- (void)fireTimer{

    HZTimer *timer = [[HZTimer alloc] init];
    timer.delegate = self;
    [timer start];

}
- (void)timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:(NSInteger)seconds{
    self.titleLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02zd",seconds];
}

创建timer时，需要绑定target对象self,所以timer强引用实例self，而timer又是作为实例变量或者属性被实例self所引用所以这样就形成了一个引用环
self => timer => self
导致内存泄漏
修改后如下：
.m

#import "HZTimer.h"

@interface HZTimer ()
{
    NSTimer *timer;
    NSInteger seconds;
}
@end


@implementation HZTimer
- (instancetype)init{
    self = [super init];
    return self;
}
- (void)stop{

    [timer invalidate];
    timer = nil;
}
- (void)start{
    seconds = 5;
    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(timerFired) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
- (void)timerFired{
    seconds--;
    if (seconds >= 0) {

        if (self.delegate && [self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:)]) {
            [self.delegate timerHandleEventWithLeftSeconds:seconds];
        }

    }else{
        [self stop];
    }

}
- (void)dealloc{
    NSLog(@"---------------timer-dealloc");
}
@end

这样HZTimer类的dealloc就被释放掉了
