Change your code to:

class ViewController: UIViewController 
{
    @IBOutlet weak var table: UITableView!
    var dataSource: MyData?

    override func viewDidLoad() 
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        dataSource = MyData()
        table.dataSource = dataSource!
    }
}

Your app breaks because the ds is deallocated as soon as viewDidLoad returns. You have to keep a reference to your data source.
