xxxViewController会与xxxView.xib冲突

问题

Xcode 9.1
学习StoryBoard，想自定义一个xib，对一个XXView添加一个xib，取名为XXView.xib，运行的时候发现，竟然奔溃了…粗略查找了下，发现可能跟我有一个XXViewController类(没有带xib)有关。于是便做了一下尝试。

过程

有一个AAViewController控制器(创建时候没有点上)，就创建了一个AAView.xib，画好界面后发现push进入这个控制器就会奔溃，报如下信息:

渣渣的我自然看不懂，然后就做了尝试:

试验

1. 把AAView.xib -> File’s Owner -> Class设置为AAViewController，运行:
   同样报错奔溃。

2. 把AAView.xib -> File’s Owner -> Class设置为AAViewController，control按住拖线从 File’s Owner 到 View，运行:
   成功push到AAViewController，显示的是AAView.xib。

3. 新建一个BBViewController，在新建的时候勾选上Also create XIB file，push到BBViewController，运行:
   成功push到BBViewController，显示的是BBViewController.xib。

4. 新建一个BBViewController，在新建的时候勾选上Also create XIB file，然后在新建一个BBView.xib，push到BBViewController，运行:
   成功push到BBViewController，显示的是BBViewController.xib。

对比1和2，3和4，很明显，xib和viewController差了个连接关系，所以我打开BBView.xib和BBViewController.xib的源文件显示，对比了下:

BBView.xib:

BBViewController.xib:

        <view clearsContextBeforeDrawing="NO" contentMode="scaleToFill" id="i5M-Pr-FkT">

            <viewLayoutGuide key="safeArea" id="Q5M-cg-NOt"/>
        </view>
    </objects>
</document>

主要差别就在于第一个里面有没有:

<connections>
    <outlet property="view" destination="i5M-Pr-FkT" id="sfx-zR-JGt"/>
</connections>

其实就是试验2拖线的操作，就是差一个viewController和xib的连接关系。
所以我猜想，当你创建XXXViewController的时候如果没有勾选上Also create XIB file，那么系统在加载这个ViewController的时候在有XXXView.xib的情况下会自动加载这个xib，如果这个xib并没有连接到XXXViewController时，便会抛出异常，奔溃闪退。
如果勾选上了，加载的便是系统创建的XXXViewController.xib，无论是否有XXXView.xib都不影响正常运行。

解决

所以要我们在有XXXViewController没自带XXXViewController.xib的时候，不能为其他View或者ViewController创建连接XXXView命名的xib，因为这已经被XXXViewController占有了，必须用其他命名或者给XXXViewController指定连接另一个xib。
