一种观察对象释放的关联引用用法

关联引用的参数对象的释放取决于与它关联的那个对象的释放。

建立一个观察类：

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
const char kWatcher;
@interface Watcher : NSObject

@end

#import "Watcher.h"

@implementation Watcher
- (void)dealloc{
    NSLog(@"The thing I was watching is going away!");
}
@end

测试代码：

objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &kWatcher, [Watcher new], OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
    NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray array];
    NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"888"];
    objc_setAssociatedObject(arr, &kWatcherKey, [Watcher new], OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);

当self或arr释放的时候，所关联的值（[Watcher new]生成的），也会释放，调用

- (void)dealloc{
    NSLog(@"The thing I was watching is going away!");
}

所以起到了监听对象销毁的目的。
