I was experimenting with this awesome tutorial and realized the
TaskCellViewModel
was never getting deallocated.I researched it and came across this helpful Swift form post: https://forums.swift.org/t/does-assign-to-produce-memory-leaks/29546/11
Adapted quote:
I fixed this by:
[weak self]
for the Combine subscriptions that usesink
assign
not retain the object, which was from the above forum postIf you prefer not overloading the
assign
name I'm happy to rename itassignNoRetain
or something like that for clarity.After this change, a
deinit()
onTaskCellViewModel
does get regularly called. I should note that I still see leaks when running this new code in Instruments, but it's a little beyond me to understand why. 😞
