The book says: “If the captured reference will never become nil, it should always be captured as an unowned reference, rather than a weak reference.”

And I can think of no way how "self" = instance of my Crash class could ever become nil while its function makeCrash is running.

Anyway: even without "[unowned self]" I always see a println() inside of deinit{} (if it is not crashing before).
Which might indicate that there are no evil retain-cycles taking place.


Could anybody show me some example which really needs [unowned self] or [weak self] to break a retain-cycle?


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
