property of type Class

Question

I have a property of type Class. ie:

 @property (nonatomic, Strong or Weak?) Class myClass;

Should it be a strong or a weak reference?

Thanks!

You can use whatever you want to.... nothing will change in this case... — Anoop Vaidya

@nickfalk No, this one here is especially about Class objects. — Nikolai Ruhe

Sorry, my bad didn't note the missing pointer-ref. (I read the question as an abstraction, i. e. Class could be AnyCustomClass). — T. Benjamin Larsen

It can safely be unsafe_unretained since classes are never released.
