__weak 注意事项

id __weak obj = [[NSObject alloc] init];

The variable obj is qualified with __weak. When the source code is compiled, the compiler shows a warning message.

warning: assigning retained obj to weak variable; obj will bereleased after assignment [-Warc-unsafe-retained-assign] id __weak obj = [[NSObject alloc] init]; 

If you assign the object to a __strong variable at first, the warning will disappear asfollows.

{
id __strong obj0 = [[NSObject alloc] init];

id __weak obj1 = obj0;

} 

Let’s see the source code with comments on ownership status.

{
/*

* You create an object and have ownership.

*/

id __strong obj0 = [[NSObject alloc] init];

/*

*  The variable obj0 is qualified with __strong.

*  Which means, it has ownership of the object.

*/

id __weak obj1 = obj0;

/*

* variable obj1 has a weak reference of the created object

*/

}

/*

*  Leaving the scope of variable obj0, its strong reference disappears.

*  The object is released automatically.

*  Because no one has ownership, the object is discarded.

*/
