Is self captured within a nested function

Question

With closures I usually append [weak self] onto my capture list and then do a null check on self:

func myInstanceMethod()
{
    let myClosure =
            


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately, only Closures have "Capture List" feature like [weak self]. For nested functions, You have to use normal weak or unowned variables.

func myInstanceMethod() {
    weak var _self = self
    func nestedFunction(result : Bool) {
        _self?.anotherInstanceMethod()
    }

    functionExpectingClosure(nestedFunction)
}
