So it stops the debugger and shows you the call stack *at the
exact time it's being called* and gives to an opportunity to walk
back the call stack before continuing? How so? Please do tell me
how to do that.
Sure does! (obviously, aside from stopping the debugger..)
Sure but the stopping-in-the-debugger-feature is what the essential
part of the procedure I was describing is. Essential for me anyway.
I have tried both approaches; generally, I have found that -retain/-
release/-autorelease get called so often that it is difficult to
figure out what is wrong by simply placing a breakpoint on them. My
main point is that Instruments can record the callstacks (I've
discovered many people don't know this); and, provided you have
source, double clicking on a callstack item will take you to the
source. For this type of problem (an overlease), it is almost as close
to as debugging, and much faster when trying to find the extra -
release (or -autorelease).
