在面试中经常会遇到面试官问这样的问题。
AutoreleasePool是什么时候销毁的?
这个问题能回答上来的话,肯定要对AutoreleasePool和RunLoop有所了解才行。
AutoreleasePool是在什么时候创建的,又是在什么时候被销毁?
AutoreleasePool被称为自动释放池,在释放池中的调用了autorelease方法的对象都会被压在该池的顶部(以栈的形式管理对象)。当自动释放池被销毁的时候,在该池中的对象会自动调用release方法来释放资源,销毁对象。以此来达到自动管理内存的目的。
其实我们在开发中很少主动去创建AutoreleasePool对象,这是为什么呢?不是说用它来自动管理内存吗?其实系统在运行的时候就帮我们创建了AutoreleasePool对象,只是我们不知道而已。那么它是在什么时候被创建的呢?

App启动后,系统在主线程RunLoop 里注册两个Observser,其回调都是_wrapRunLoopWithAutoreleasePoolHandler()。
第一个 Observer 监视的事件
是 Entry(即将进入Loop),其回调内会调用 _objc_autoreleasePoolPush() 创建自动释放池。其优先级最高,保证创建释放池发生在其他所有回调之前。
第二个 Observer 监视了两个事件
_BeforeWaiting(准备进入休眠) 时 _
调用_objc_autoreleasePoolPop() 和 _objc_autoreleasePoolPush() 释放旧的池并创建新池;
_Exit(即将退出Loop) 时 _
调用 _objc_autoreleasePoolPop() 来释放自动释放池。这个 Observer 优先级最低,保证其释放池子发生在其他所有回调之后。
在主线程执行的代码,通常是写在诸如事件回调、Timer回调内的。这些回调会被 RunLoop 创建好的 AutoreleasePool 环绕着,所以不会出现内存泄漏,开发者也不必显示创建 Pool 了。
现在我们知道了AutoreleasePool是在RunLoop即将进入RunLoop和准备进入休眠这两种状态的时候被创建和销毁的。
