我使用ARC专门为iOS 5开发游戏。iboutlet到UIViews(和子类)是强还是弱?

以下几点:

@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton *button;

就能摆脱这一切

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    // ...
    self.button = nil;
    // ...
}

做这个有什么问题吗?模板使用强,当从“接口生成器”编辑器直接连接到头部时,自动生成的属性创建,但为什么?UIViewController已经有一个强引用到它的视图,它保留了它的子视图。

出于性能考虑,IBOutlet应该是强大的。参见iOS 9中的故事板参考,Strong IBOutlet, Scene Dock

As explained in this paragraph, the outlets to subviews of the view controller’s view can be weak, because these subviews are already owned by the top-level object of the nib file. However, when an Outlet is defined as a weak pointer and the pointer is set, ARC calls the runtime function: id objc_storeWeak(id *object, id value); This adds the pointer (object) to a table using the object value as a key. This table is referred to as the weak table. ARC uses this table to store all the weak pointers of your application. Now, when the object value is deallocated, ARC will iterate over the weak table and set the weak reference to nil. Alternatively, ARC can call: void objc_destroyWeak(id * object) Then, the object is unregistered and objc_destroyWeak calls again: objc_storeWeak(id *object, nil) This book-keeping associated with a weak reference can take 2–3 times longer over the release of a strong reference. So, a weak reference introduces an overhead for the runtime that you can avoid by simply defining outlets as strong.

在Xcode 7中,它是强的

如果你观看了WWDC 2015会议407在界面生成器中实现UI设计,它建议(来自http://asciiwwdc.com/2015/sessions/407)

And the last option I want to point out is the storage type, which can either be strong or weak. In general you should make your outlet strong, especially if you are connecting an outlet to a sub view or to a constraint that's not always going to be retained by the view hierarchy. The only time you really need to make an outlet weak is if you have a custom view that references something back up the view hierarchy and in general that's not recommended. So I'm going to choose strong and I will click connect which will generate my outlet.

我看不出有什么问题。在arc之前,我总是让IBOutlets赋值,因为它们已经被它们的父视图保留了。如果你把它们设为弱的,你不应该在viewDidUnload中清空它们,正如你指出的那样。

警告:你可以支持iOS 4。x在ARC项目中,但如果你这样做,你不能使用weak,所以你必须让它们赋值,在这种情况下,你仍然想在viewDidUnload中nil引用以避免悬浮指针。下面是我经历过的一个悬浮指针错误的例子:

UIViewController有一个UITextField表示邮政编码。它使用CLLocationManager反向对用户的位置进行地理编码并设置邮政编码。这是委托回调:

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
   didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
          fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
    Class geocoderClass = NSClassFromString(@"CLGeocoder");
    if (geocoderClass && IsEmpty(self.zip.text)) {
        id geocoder = [[geocoderClass alloc] init];
        [geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:newLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
            if (self.zip && IsEmpty(self.zip.text)) {
                self.zip.text = [[placemarks objectAtIndex:0] postalCode];
            }
        }];    
    }
    [self.locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}

我发现,如果我在正确的时间解散这个视图,没有nil self.zip在viewDidUnload,委托回调可以抛出一个糟糕的访问异常self.zip.text。

在iOS开发中,NIB加载与Mac开发略有不同。

在Mac开发中,IBOutlet通常是一个弱引用:如果你有NSViewController的子类,只有顶级视图会被保留,当你释放控制器时,它的所有子视图和outlet都会自动释放。

UiViewController使用键值编码来设置出口使用强引用。当你dealloc你的UIViewController时,顶视图会自动释放,但你也必须在dealloc方法中释放它所有的outlet。

在这篇来自Big Nerd Ranch的文章中,他们讨论了这个话题,并解释了为什么在IBOutlet中使用强引用不是一个好的选择(即使在这种情况下苹果推荐它)。

目前苹果推荐的最佳实践是iboutlet是强的,除非特别需要弱的以避免保留循环。就像Johannes上面提到的,在2015年WWDC的“在界面生成器中实现UI设计”会议上,一位苹果工程师说:

我想指出的最后一个选项是存储类型,它可以 要么坚强,要么软弱。一般来说,你应该做出口 强,特别是当你连接一个输出到子视图或 约束并不总是会被视图保留 层次结构。唯一真正需要使outlet弱的时候是if 您有一个自定义视图,它引用视图中的备份内容 等级制度,一般来说不建议这样做。

我在Twitter上向IB团队的一位工程师询问了这个问题,他确认strong应该是默认的,并且开发人员文档正在更新。

警告,过时的答案:根据WWDC 2015,这个答案不是最新的,正确答案参考上面的公认答案(丹尼尔·霍尔)。这个答案将被记录下来。


从开发人员库总结:

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). @property (weak) IBOutlet MyView *viewContainerSubview; @property (strong) IBOutlet MyOtherClass *topLevelObject;

我认为最重要的信息是: xib中的元素自动位于view的子视图中。Subviews是NSArray。NSArray拥有它的元素。等等都有强指针。所以在大多数情况下你不需要创建另一个强指针(IBOutlet)

使用ARC,你不需要在viewDidUnload中做任何事情
