ios开发ARC，IBOutlets之strong与weak

今天在写程序的时候，用IBOutlets连了一个 自定义的控件，出现了问题，后面访问的时候，控件里有些subviews没有初始化好，取到的时候为nil， 程序里用了ARC， IBOutlets一连接上，就自动加了weak的定义，于是知道问题应该是出现在这个上面了，weak改成strong， 问题是解决了，但是对IBOutlets什么时候用strong，什么时候用weak还是没有一个清楚的认识，于是去apple doc上看了下资料，发现下面一段：

From a practical perspective, in iOS and OS X outlets should be defined as declared properties. Outlets should generally be weak, except for those from File’s Owner to top-level objects in a nib file (or, in iOS, a storyboard scene) which should be strong. Outlets that you create will therefore typically be weak by default, because:

• Outlets that you create to, for example, subviews of a view controller’s view or a window controller’s window, are arbitrary references between objects that do not imply ownership.

• The strong outlets are frequently specified by framework classes (for example, UIViewController’s view outlet, or NSWindowController’s window outlet).

英文不是太好，大致理解意思是说，在 ARC 中,一般outlet属性都推荐使用 weak, 而 File's Owner连接到 nib 的顶层对象应该使用 strong。通俗一点说就是，如果是你自定义的view，不是做为主视图的子视图直接显示，而是你自己实例化创建出来并加入主视图里的，那么你需要自己保留对象所有权，需要使用strong。

关于这一点，参考了念茜blog里的文章：http://blog.csdn.net/yiyaaixuexi/article/details/7864974

总结：

之所以有上面困惑，是对对象所有权问题的没理解透彻，找到问题的根源，才能拔云见日。
