Recursive Block Retain Cycles

Question

Will this lead to any sort of retain cycle? Is it safe to use?

__block void (^myBlock)(int) = [^void (int i)
{
    if (i == 0)
        return;

    NSLog(@\"         


        

Answer 1

I wanted a solution that gets no warnings, and in this thread https://stackoverflow.com/a/17235341/259521 Tammo Freese gives the best solution:

__block void (__weak ^blockSelf)(void);
void (^block)(void) = [^{
        // Use blockSelf here
} copy];
blockSelf = block;
    // Use block here

His explanation makes perfect sense.
