Below, is a situation that you need use unowned self. Here the closure is stored in variable d instead of running and releasing.

In this specific case, when you are initialising from a closure, there is no need to make the capture of ‘self’ explicit and it’s totally safe for it to be unowned. You can’t invoke the closure without going through a valid instance, and that instance always owns the closure and never the other way around.
