Deinit not called on a UIViewController, but Dealloc is

Question

It seems like the Swift equivalent of dealloc is deinit. However, when you attempt to define the method on a UIViewController, it doesn\'t behave as you would expect...

Answer 1

I haven't tried it yet but I did find this for you:

It seems the function won't be called unless some code is put inside the deinit (weird) must be part of swift's optimisation stage.

Try putting a print statement inside your deinit as suggested and report your findings
