关于在块中操作self的疑问

还是读sdwebimage的源码，在sdwebimagedownloader里的下面这个方法里

- (id <SDWebImageOperation>)downloadImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url options:(SDWebImageDownloaderOptions)options progress:(SDWebImageDownloaderProgressBlock)progressBlock completed:(SDWebImageDownloaderCompletedBlock)completedBlock {
    __block SDWebImageDownloaderOperation *operation;
    __weak __typeof(self)wself = self;

    [self addProgressCallback:progressBlock andCompletedBlock:completedBlock forURL:url createCallback:^{
        NSTimeInterval timeoutInterval = wself.downloadTimeout;
        if (timeoutInterval == 0.0) {
            timeoutInterval = 15.0;
        }

        // In order to prevent from potential duplicate caching (NSURLCache + SDImageCache) we disable the cache for image requests if told otherwise
        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url cachePolicy:(options & SDWebImageDownloaderUseNSURLCache ? NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy : NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData) timeoutInterval:timeoutInterval];
        request.HTTPShouldHandleCookies = (options & SDWebImageDownloaderHandleCookies);
        request.HTTPShouldUsePipelining = YES;
        if (wself.headersFilter) {
            request.allHTTPHeaderFields = wself.headersFilter(url, [wself.HTTPHeaders copy]);
        }
        else {
            request.allHTTPHeaderFields = wself.HTTPHeaders;
        }
        operation = [[wself.operationClass alloc] initWithRequest:request

                                                         }

                                                                    [sself.URLCallbacks removeObjectForKey:url];
                                                                }

                                                            if (!sself) return;
                                                            dispatch_barrier_async(sself.barrierQueue, ^{

        }
        
        if (options & SDWebImageDownloaderHighPriority) {
            operation.queuePriority = NSOperationQueuePriorityHigh;
        } else if (options & SDWebImageDownloaderLowPriority) {
            operation.queuePriority = NSOperationQueuePriorityLow;
        }

        [wself.downloadQueue addOperation:operation];
        if (wself.executionOrder == SDWebImageDownloaderLIFOExecutionOrder) {
            // Emulate LIFO execution order by systematically adding new operations as last operation's dependency
            [wself.lastAddedOperation addDependency:operation];
            wself.lastAddedOperation = operation;
        }
    }];

    return operation;
}

为什么 还要SDWebImageDownloader *sself = wself;执行这一句？
直接操作wself不行吗？
直接把wself赋给sself有什么区别吗？

wself 是个 weak 引用，weak 引用可能随时会被释放（当所有它的 strong 引用都释放了，ref count 达到 0 ），你疑惑的那一句代码， 就是给 wself 弄了一个 strong 引用（sself），其实从名字也能看出来，这样就可以保证在那个 block 内， wself 不会被释放掉。

Block 外面使用 weak self 是为了防止 Block 引起循环引用；而当 Block 回调是异步的情况下，为了防止回调执行时 weak self 被清理了，所以加一个 strong 化的过程。这样即避免了循环引用，又保证了对象的正常生命周期。
