Read Original

This technical article delves into Swift's memory management, focusing on a nuanced problem: unbreakable reference cycles that cause memory leaks. It explains the differences between value and reference types, illustrates how cycles form even with careful use of `weak`, and presents advanced examples and insights not commonly documented, based on the author's trial and error.
