解决方案

struct WeakObject<Object: AnyObject> { weak var object: Object? }

选项1

@propertyWrapper
struct WeakElements<Collect, Element> where Collect: RangeReplaceableCollection, Collect.Element == Optional<Element>, Element: AnyObject {
    private var weakObjects = [WeakObject<Element>]()

    init(wrappedValue value: Collect) { save(collection: value) }

    private mutating func save(collection: Collect) {
        weakObjects = collection.map { WeakObject(object: $0) }
    }

    var wrappedValue: Collect {
        get { Collect(weakObjects.map { $0.object }) }
        set (newValues) { save(collection: newValues) }
    }
}

选项1用法

class Class1 { // or struct
    @WeakElements var weakObjectsArray = [UIView?]() // Use like regular array. With any objects

    func test() {
        weakObjectsArray.append(UIView())
        weakObjectsArray.forEach { print($0) }
    }
}

选项2

struct WeakObjectsArray<Object> where Object: AnyObject {
    private var weakObjects = [WeakObject<Object>]()
}

extension WeakObjectsArray {
    typealias SubSequence = WeakObjectsArray<Object>
    typealias Element = Optional<Object>
    typealias Index = Int
    var startIndex: Index { weakObjects.startIndex }
    var endIndex: Index { weakObjects.endIndex }
    func index(after i: Index) -> Index { weakObjects.index(after: i) }
    subscript(position: Index) -> Element {
        get { weakObjects[position].object }
        set (newValue) { weakObjects[position] = WeakObject(object: newValue) }
    }
    var count: Int { return weakObjects.count }
    var isEmpty: Bool { return weakObjects.isEmpty }
}

extension WeakObjectsArray: RangeReplaceableCollection {
    mutating func replaceSubrange<C : Collection>( _ subrange: Range<Index>, with newElements: C) where Element == C.Element {
        weakObjects.replaceSubrange(subrange, with: newElements.map { WeakObject(object: $0) })
    }
}

选项2使用

class Class2 { // or struct
    var weakObjectsArray = WeakObjectsArray<UIView>() // Use like regular array. With any objects

    func test() {
        weakObjectsArray.append(UIView())
        weakObjectsArray.forEach { print($0) }
    }
}

完整的样品

不要忘记粘贴解决方案代码

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @WeakElements var weakObjectsArray = [UIView?]()
    //var weakObjectsArray = WeakObjectsArray<UIView>()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        addSubviews()
    }

    private func printArray(title: String) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            print("=============================\n\(title)\ncount: \(self.weakObjectsArray.count)")
            self.weakObjectsArray.enumerated().forEach { print("\($0) \(String(describing: $1))") }
        }
    }
}

extension ViewController {

    private func createRandomRectangleAndAdd(to parentView: UIView) -> UIView {
        let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: Int.random(in: 0...200),
                                        y: Int.random(in: 60...200),
                                        width: Int.random(in: 0...200),
                                        height: Int.random(in: 0...200)))
        let color = UIColor(red: CGFloat.random(in: 0...255)/255,
                            green: CGFloat.random(in: 0...255)/255,
                            blue: CGFloat.random(in: 0...255)/255,
                            alpha: 1)
        view.backgroundColor = color
        parentView.addSubview(view)
        return view
    }

    private func addSubviews() {
        (0...1).forEach { _ in addView() }
        addButtons()
    }

    private func createButton(title: String, frame: CGRect, action: Selector) -> UIButton {
        let button = UIButton(frame: frame)
        button.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
        button.addTarget(self, action: action, for: .touchUpInside)
        button.setTitleColor(.blue, for: .normal)
        return button
    }

    private func addButtons() {
        view.addSubview(createButton(title: "Add",
                                     frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 20, width: 40, height: 40),
                                     action: #selector(addView)))

        view.addSubview(createButton(title: "Delete",
                                     frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: 20, width: 60, height: 40),
                                     action: #selector(deleteView)))

        view.addSubview(createButton(title: "Remove nils",
                                     frame: CGRect(x: 120, y: 20, width: 100, height: 40),
                                     action: #selector(removeNils)))
    }

    @objc func deleteView() {
        view.subviews.first { view -> Bool in return !(view is UIButton) }?
            .removeFromSuperview()

        printArray(title: "First view deleted")
    }

    @objc func addView() {
        weakObjectsArray.append(createRandomRectangleAndAdd(to: view))
        printArray(title: "View addded")
    }

    @objc func removeNils() {
        weakObjectsArray = weakObjectsArray.filter { $0 != nil }
        printArray(title: "Remove all nil elements in weakArray")
    }
}

下面是如何使@GoZoner的伟大的答案符合哈希，所以它可以在容器对象中索引:集，字典，数组等。

private class Weak<T: AnyObject>: Hashable {
    weak var value : T!
    init (value: T) {
       self.value = value
    }

    var hashValue : Int {
       // ObjectIdentifier creates a unique hashvalue for objects.
       return ObjectIdentifier(self.value).hashValue
    }
}

// Need to override so we can conform to Equitable.
private func == <T>(lhs: Weak<T>, rhs: Weak<T>) -> Bool {
    return lhs.hashValue == rhs.hashValue
}

创建一个通用包装器，如下:

class Weak<T: AnyObject> {
  weak var value : T?
  init (value: T) {
    self.value = value
  }
}

将该类的实例添加到数组中。

class Stuff {}
var weakly : [Weak<Stuff>] = [Weak(value: Stuff()), Weak(value: Stuff())]

定义Weak时，可以使用struct或class。

同样，为了帮助获取数组内容，你可以做一些如下的事情:

extension Array where Element:Weak<AnyObject> {
  mutating func reap () {
    self = self.filter { nil != $0.value }
  }
}

上面使用的AnyObject应该替换为T -但我不认为当前的Swift语言允许这样定义扩展。

我有同样的想法来创建带有泛型的弱容器。 因此，我为NSHashTable创建了包装器:

class WeakSet<ObjectType>: SequenceType {

    var count: Int {
        return weakStorage.count
    }

    private let weakStorage = NSHashTable.weakObjectsHashTable()

    func addObject(object: ObjectType) {
        guard object is AnyObject else { fatalError("Object (\(object)) should be subclass of AnyObject") }
        weakStorage.addObject(object as? AnyObject)
    }

    func removeObject(object: ObjectType) {
        guard object is AnyObject else { fatalError("Object (\(object)) should be subclass of AnyObject") }
        weakStorage.removeObject(object as? AnyObject)
    }

    func removeAllObjects() {
        weakStorage.removeAllObjects()
    }

    func containsObject(object: ObjectType) -> Bool {
        guard object is AnyObject else { fatalError("Object (\(object)) should be subclass of AnyObject") }
        return weakStorage.containsObject(object as? AnyObject)
    }

    func generate() -> AnyGenerator<ObjectType> {
        let enumerator = weakStorage.objectEnumerator()
        return anyGenerator {
            return enumerator.nextObject() as! ObjectType?
        }
    }
}

用法:

protocol MyDelegate : AnyObject {
    func doWork()
}

class MyClass: AnyObject, MyDelegate {
    fun doWork() {
        // Do delegated work.
    }
}

var delegates = WeakSet<MyDelegate>()
delegates.addObject(MyClass())

for delegate in delegates {
    delegate.doWork()
}

这不是最好的解决方案，因为WeakSet可以初始化为任何类型，如果这种类型不符合AnyObject协议，那么应用程序将崩溃，并给出详细的原因。但我现在找不到更好的解决办法。

最初的解决方案是这样定义WeakSet:

class WeakSet<ObjectType: AnyObject>: SequenceType {}

但是在这种情况下，WeakSet不能用协议初始化:

protocol MyDelegate : AnyObject {
    func doWork()
}

let weakSet = WeakSet<MyDelegate>()

目前以上代码无法编译(Swift 2.1, Xcode 7.1)。 这就是为什么我放弃符合AnyObject并使用fatalError()断言添加额外的保护。

这不是我的解决方案。我是在苹果开发者论坛上找到它的。

@GoZoner有一个很好的答案，但它崩溃了Swift编译器。

下面是一个弱对象容器的版本，它不会使当前发布的编译器崩溃。

struct WeakContainer<T where T: AnyObject> {
    weak var _value : T?

    init (value: T) {
        _value = value
    }

    func get() -> T? {
        return _value
    }
}

然后你可以创建一个这些容器的数组:

let myArray: Array<WeakContainer<MyClass>> = [myObject1, myObject2]

我基于@Eonil的工作，因为我喜欢闭包弱绑定策略，但我不想为变量使用函数操作符，因为这感觉非常违反直觉

相反，我所做的是:

class Weak<T> where T: AnyObject {
    fileprivate var storedWeakReference: ()->T? = { return nil }

    var value: T? {
        get {
            return storedWeakReference()
        }
    }

    init(_ object: T) {
        self.storedWeakReference = storeWeakReference(object)
    }

    fileprivate func storeWeakReference<T> (_ target:T) -> ()->T? where T: AnyObject {
        return { [weak target] in
            return target
        }
    }
}

这样你可以做一些事情，比如:

var a: UIViewController? = UIViewController()
let b = Weak(a)
print(a) //prints Optional(<UIViewController: 0xSomeAddress>)
print(b.value) //prints Optional(<UIViewController: 0xSomeAddress>)
a = nil
print(a) //prints nil
print(b.value) //prints nil
