Context of self in a method that is called from a closure

A method sampleMethod() is called from a closure with weak reference of self (self?.sampleMethod()), within the same class. What will be the context of self which is now used in sampleMethod()? Will it be a weak self or a strong one?

Since method sampleMethod() invoked successfully, it will use strong self reference inside it body by default.

You may think about this line

self?.sampleMethod()

like this

if let s = self {
    s.dynamicType.sampleMethod(s)()
}

where you just passing strong reference to instance to related class method
